2 Chronicles21:16
16 Moreover, the LORD stirred up against Jehoram the spirit of the Philistins , and of the Arabians, that were near the Ethiopians .
A People fully subdued and dispirited: but God now raiseth their Spirits and Courage to do his Work.
Heb. near the Cushites, i. e. Either the Ethiopians from whom they were parted onely by the Red Sea, each dwelling upon the opposite Shores of it: Or rather a People in Arabia, frequently mentioned in Scripture, and so called either for their likeness in Colour and Complexion to the Ethiopians properly so called; or because the one of these People were a Colony of the other. But the Ethiopians above Egypt were far enough from these other Arabians, being separated from them by the Red Sea.
