'''Uzzah''' - strength, a son of [[Abinadab]], in whose house the men of
[[Kirjath-jearim]] placed the ark when it was brought back from the
land of the [[Philistines]] (1 Sam. 7:1). He with his brother [[Ahio]]
drove the cart on which the ark was placed when [[David]] sought to
bring it up to Jerusalem. When the oxen stumbled, Uzzah, in
direct violation of the divine law (Num. 4:15), put forth his
hand to steady the ark, and was immediately smitten unto death.
The place where this occurred was henceforth called [[Perez-uzzah]]
(1 Chr. 13:11). [[David]] on this feared to proceed further, and
placed the ark in the house of Obed-edom the [[Gittite]] (2 Sam.
6:2-11; 1 Chr. 13:6-13).
