Uzza

"Strengh, a garden in which Manasseh and Amon were buried (2" "Kings 21:18, 26). It was probably near the king's palace in" "Jerusalem, or may have formed part of the palace grounds." Manasseh may probably have acquired it from some one of this name.

"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).
