Uzzah
웃사
Named at 2 Samuel 6:3 as a son of Abinadab: “Uzzah and Ahio, the sons of Abinadab, drove the new cart.” At 6:6–7, when they come to the threshing floor of Nacon, Uzzah reaches for God’s ark and takes hold of it, for the cattle stumble; the LORD’s anger burns against Uzzah, and God strikes him there for his error, and he dies there by God’s ark. At 6:8 David is displeased because the LORD had broken out against Uzzah, and calls that place Perez Uzzah. The Korean Revised Version has 여호와 하나님이, the LORD God, both burn with anger and strike him (6:7).

5So David assembled all Israel together, from the Shihor River of Egypt even to the entrance of Hamath, to bring God’s ark from Kiriath Jearim.
6David went up with all Israel to Baalah, that is, to Kiriath Jearim, which belonged to Judah, to bring up from there God the LORD’s ark that sits above the cherubim, that is called by the Name.
7They carried God’s ark on a new cart, and brought it out of Abinadab’s house; and Uzza and Ahio drove the cart.
8David and all Israel played before God with all their might, even with songs, with harps, with stringed instruments, with tambourines, with cymbals, and with trumpets.

9When they came to Chidon’s threshing floor, Uzza put out his hand to hold the ark, for the oxen stumbled.
10The LORD’s anger burned against Uzza, and he struck him because he put his hand on the ark; and he died there before God.
11David was displeased, because the LORD had broken out against Uzza. He called that place Perez Uzza, to this day.
12David was afraid of God that day, saying, “How can I bring God’s ark home to me?”
13So David didn’t move the ark with him into David’s city, but carried it aside into Obed-Edom the Gittite’s house.
14God’s ark remained with the family of Obed-Edom in his house three months; and the LORD blessed Obed-Edom’s house and all that he had.
