From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Chushan-rishathaim
      Cush of double wickedness, or governor of two presidencies, the
      king of Mesopotamia who oppressed Israel in the generation
      immediately following Joshua (Judg. 3:8). We learn from the
      Tell-el-Amarna tablets that Palestine had been invaded by the
      forces of Aram-naharaim (A.V., "Mesopotamia") more than once,
      long before the Exodus, and that at the time they were written
      the king of Aram-naharaim was still intriguing in Canaan. It is
      mentioned among the countries which took part in the attack upon
      Egypt in the reign of Rameses III. (of the Twentieth Dynasty),
      but as its king is not one of the princes stated to have been
      conquered by the Pharaoh, it would seem that he did not actually
      enter Egypt. As the reign of Rameses III. corresponds with the
      Israelitish occupation of Canaan, it is probable that the
      Egyptian monuments refer to the oppression of the Israelites by
      Chushan-rishathaim. Canaan was still regarded as a province of
      Egypt, so that, in attacking it Chushan-rishathaim would have
      been considered to be attacking Egypt.
     

From Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary (late 1800's) [hitchcock]:
   Chushan-rishathaim, blackness of iniquities
