UZZAH
1. Son of Abinadab who was killed while accompanying the cart that carried the ark of the covenant when it was returned from the Philistines (2 Sm 6:1-8; 1 Chr 13:7-11). He was struck dead by the Lord because he took hold of the ark while trying to steady it, thereby violating the instructions of Numbers 4:15. Uzzah’s brother, Ahio, was apparently leading the oxen while Uzzah walked alongside. As a result of the incident, David renamed the site Perez-uzzah (“the breaking forth against Uzzah”) and left the ark at the home of Obed-edom.
2. Levite from the clan of Merari who is listed as the son of Shimei and the father of Shimea (1 Chr 6:29).
