Uzza
Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible [1]
UZZA . 1 . A Benjamite family ( 1 Chronicles 8:7 ). 2 . A family of Nethinim ( Ezra 2:48 = Nehemiah 7:51 [ 1Es 5:31 Ozias ]). 3 . The driver of the cart on which the ark was removed from Kiriath-jearim ( 2 Samuel 6:3; 2 Samuel 6:6-8 [in 2 Samuel 6:6-8 the name is Uzzah ] = 1 Chronicles 13:7; 1 Chronicles 13:9-11 ). Uzza’s sudden death at a place called, in commemoration of this untoward incident, Perez-uzzah (‘breach of Uzzah’), led to the temporary abandonment of David’s project of transporting the ark to Jerusalem. Uzza’s death was attributed by the popular mind to anger on the part of Jahweh at his having presumed to handle the sacred emhlem too familiarly. 4 . A ‘garden of Uzza’ ( 2 Kings 21:18; 2 Kings 21:26 ) was attached to the palace of Manasseh.
Smith's Bible Dictionary [2]
Uz'za. (Strength).
1. A Benjamite of the sons of Ehud. 1 Chronicles 8:7. (B.C. 1445).
2. Elsewhere called Uzzah . 1 Chronicles 13:7; 1 Chronicles 13:9-11. See Uzzah .
3. The children of Uzza were a family of Nethinim who returned with Zerubbabel. Ezra 2:49; Nehemiah 7:51. (B.C. before 536).
4. Properly Uzzah . As the text now stands, Uzzah is a descendant of Merari, 1 Chronicles 6:29; 1 Chronicles 6:14; but there appears to be a gap in the verse. Perhaps he is the same as Zina or Zizah , the son of Shimei, 1 Chronicles 23:10-11, for these names evidently denote the same person, and, in Hebrew character, are not unlike Uzzah.
