(Uzʹzah) [possibly a shortened form of Uzziah, meaning “My Strength Is Jehovah”]. 1. A Merarite Levite. — 1Ch 6:29. 2. 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 …

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 Jehovah struck him dead on the spot.

（Uzzah）〔可能是乌西雅的简称，意思是：我的力量是耶和华〕 1．利未人，属于米拉利家族。（代上6:29） 2．利未人；亚比拿达的儿子。大卫把约柜运往耶路撒冷时，乌撒和他的兄弟亚希约领着装载约柜的车子走。

When Uzzah, who was leading the wagon, grabbed hold of the Ark to steady it, he died on the spot for his “irreverent act.” ... Yes, Uzzah sinned seriously, yet ultimately, it was David’s failure to maintain proper respect for God’s Law that brought about that tragic outcome.

Uzziah became famous for his military successes, attained with Jehovah’s help. He restored Elath (Eloth) to the kingdom of Judah and rebuilt that city located at the head of the Gulf of ʽAqaba.
