2024年12月5日 · The story of Uzzah and the Ark of the Covenant is found in 2 Samuel 6:1-7 and 1 Chronicles 13:9-12. As the ark was being transported, the oxen pulling the cart stumbled, and a man named Uzzah took hold of the ark. God’s anger burned against Uzzah and He struck him down and he died.

According to the Tanakh, Uzzah or Uzza (Hebrew: עזה ‎ or עזא ‎), meaning "Strength", was an Israelite whose death is associated with touching the Ark of the Covenant. The account of Uzzah appears in two places in scripture: 2 Samuel 6:3-8 [1] and 1 Chronicles 13:7-11. [2]

Uzzah is a biblical figure known for his involvement in the transportation of the Ark of the Covenant during the reign of King David. His account is primarily found in 2 Samuel 6:1-11 and 1 Chronicles 13:1-14 .

Uzzah’s death for touching the ark leads some to characterize God as unfeeling and unfair. Why did Uzzah die, and what can we learn from this example? The circumstances resulting in Uzzah’s death are recorded in 2 Samuel 6 and 1 Chronicles 13:1-14 (where his name is spelled Uzza).

Uzzah's action, though seemingly well-intentioned, violated these divine instructions, demonstrating a lack of reverence for God's holiness. This incident underscores the importance of obedience to God's commands and the consequences of disregarding them.

2019年4月11日 · Uzzah’s death was a clear warning to others that God is a righteous God, who demands strict obedience (1 Samuel 15:22; John 14:15). The unexpected disaster caused the people of Israel to realize the importance of God’s express commands and the awfulness of the sin of disrespect (Psalm 111:10).

Uzzah reached out to steady the Ark and was fatally smitten. His death was attributed to the violation of the sacred character of the Ark ( 2 Sam 6:7 ; 1 Chron 13:10 ). David was greatly distressed at the incident, and immediately cancelled his plans to enshrine the Ark in Jerusalem.
