Exegesis
The relative clause ʾăšer ʿal-yăd Kūšîm {אֲשֶׁר עַל־יַד כּוּשִׁים | ʾăšer ʿal-yăd Kū-shim} ‘who were beside the Cushites’ functions as a locative qualifier. The English rendering preserves the Hebrew order and clause relations by using a relative clause to mirror the locative expression, maintaining the emphasis on the origin of the hostile spirit.
Root and etymology
y-dyod–dalet
“hand, power”
In context — 2 Chronicles 21:16
And the LORD aroused against Jehoram the spirit of the Philistines and the Arabs who were beside the Cushites.
