The Cushanites, an obscure biblical people, were likely linked to Midian or Cush (Kush), living in the deserts of Arabia or northeastern Africa. Mentioned in Habakkuk 3:7, they serve as a reminder that God’s sovereignty extends over all nations, great or small.
The Hagrites were a nomadic people of the ancient Near East, likely connected to Hagar and the Ishmaelites. They played a role in biblical history through military conflicts with Israel, forming alliances with other desert tribes but ultimately being defeated by the Israelite tribes with God’s help.
The Arabians in the Bible were a diverse collection of nomadic tribes, known for trade, warfare, and cultural influence. Though often at odds with Israel, they played a key role in the ancient Near East, shaping economies, conflicts, and prophetic history.
