    The story from the end of Judges and the middle of 1 Samuel are seemingly unrelated, but upon further examination they have some similarities. In Judges a lot of the story takes place in Gibeah, and 1 Samuel mentions Gibeah a couple times. Furthermore, in Judges Israel is fighting the tribe of Benjamin and Israel ultimately has mercy on them and does not slaughter the Benjaminites: “The people had compassion on Benjamin because the Lord had made a breach in the tribes of Israel” (Judg 21:15).

    The young Ethiopian soldier was a man of great wisdom, matured with extreme caution, because it required great skill and knowledge to pass an important message to the king, of which any mistake or miscommunication can cause such person his life. He went to the king and delivered the messages carefully without hesitations about the wellbeing of the king's son, when asked by the king, he then replied with wisdom and cautiously said my lord the king, and all that rise against thee to do thee hurt, be as that young man is. And king David was much moved by the message of the Ethiopian Cushi than the message of the first messenger, and he went to his chamber and wept because he knew that his son was dead (2 Samuel 18:7-33). The name Cushi was used by the Hebrew-Jews for a dark-skinned individual who were of African descent. Cush/Kush is the name used for the ancient kingdom of Ethiopia, which was located in the upper Nile of the Nubian empire which extended to our modern day (Sudan).
