  Uzzah 
  strength,  a  son  of  Abinadab,  in  whose  house  the  men  of 
  Kirjath-jearim  placed  the  ark  when  it  was  brought  back  from  the 
  land  of  the  Philistines  (1  Sam.  7:1).  He  with  his  brother  Ahio 
  drove  the  cart  on  which  the  ark  was  placed  when  David  sought  to 
  bring  it  up  to  Jerusalem.  When  the  oxen  stumbled,  Uzzah,  in 
  direct  violation  of  the  divine  law  (Num.  4:15),  put  forth  his 
  hand  to  steady  the  ark,  and  was  immediately  smitten  unto  death. 
  The  place  where  this  occurred  was  henceforth  called  Perez-uzzah 
  (1  Chr.  13:11).  David  on  this  feared  to  proceed  further,  and 
  placed  the  ark  in  the  house  of  Obed-edom  the  Gittite  (2  Sam. 
  6:2-11;  1  Chr.  13:6-13).
