~UZZAH 2 (95)
(Uz'zah) [possibly a shortened form of Uzziah, meaning, My Strength
Is Yehowah]
· A son of Abinadab, undoubtedly a Levite. Uzzah and his brother
Ahio led the wagon carrying the ark of the covenant from their house when David wanted it brought to Jerusalem.
· When the bulls pulling the wagon nearly caused an upset, Uzzah reached out and grabbed hold to steady the Ark, for which Yehowah
· struck him dead on the spot. David named the place Perez-uzzah because there Yehowah had broken through in a rupture against
Uzzah .
· The sons of Merari were Mahli, Libni his son, Shimei his son,
Uzzah his son. ( 1 Chronicles 6:29 )
Shimea his son, Haggiah his son, Asaiah his son. (
6:30 )
1 Chronicles
And these were the ones to whom David gave positions for the direction of the singing at the house of Yehowah after the Ark had a resting-place. ( 1 Chronicles 6:31 )
And they came to be ministers in the singing before the tabernacle of the tent of meeting until Solomon built the house of Yehowah in Jerusalem, and they kept attending upon their service according to their commission. ( 1 Chronicles 6:32 )
And these were those in attendance and also their sons. Of the sons of the Kohathites Heman the singer, the son of Joel, the son of Samuel. ( 1 Chronicles 6:33 )
The son of Elkanah, the son of Jeroham, the son of Eliel, the son of Toah. ( 1 Chronicles 6:34 )
However, they had the ark of the true God ride upon a new wagon from the house of Abinadab, and Uzzah and Ahio were leading the wagon. ( 1 Chronicles 13:7 )
And David and all Israel were celebrating before the true God with full power and with songs and with harps and with stringed

instruments and with tambourines and with cymbals and with trumpets. ( 1 Chronicles 13:8 )
· And they came gradually as far as the threshing floor of Chidon, and Uzzah now thrust his hand out to grab hold of the Ark, for the bulls nearly caused an upset. ( 1 Chronicles 13:9 )
· At that Yehowah’s anger blazed against Uzzah , so that he struck him down because he had thrust his hand out upon the Ark, and he died there before God. ( 1 Chronicles 13:10 )
·
·
And David became angry because Yehowah had broken through in a rupture against Uzzah, and that place came to be called
Perez-uzzah down to this day. ( 1 Chronicles 13:11 )
· Notwithstanding Uzzah’s presumably good intentions to prevent the Ark from falling, it was judged as an irreverent act .
·
And David became angry because Yehowah had broken through in a rupture against Uzzah , and that place came to be called
Perezuzzah down to this day. ( 1 Chronicles 13:11 )
· This was because deliberate disobedience was involved.
Yehowah had instructed that under no circumstances was the Ark to be
· touched by unauthorized persons, a warning of public knowledge that carried with it the death penalty for violators.
And Aaron and his sons must finish covering the holy place and all the utensils of the holy place when the camp is departing, and after that the sons of Kohath will come in to carry them, but they must not touch the holy place so that they have to die. These things are the load of the sons of Kohath in the tent of meeting.
( Numbers 4:15 )
And they must not come in to see the holy things for the least moment of time, and so they have to die. ( Numbers 4:20 )
· Had authorized ones, Kohathite Levites, carried it with the poles on their shoulders as God had directed, God’s anger would not have been incurred.
· And you must make poles of acacia wood and overlay them with gold. ( Exodus 25:13 )

And you must put the poles through the rings upon the sides of the Ark in order to carry the Ark with them. ( Exodus 25:14 )
