Xtzza

1. A Benjamite family (1 Chronicles 8:7). 2. A family of Nethinim (Ezra 2:49 =Neh 7 [1 Esdras 5:31 Ozias]). 3. The driver of the cart on which the arl£ was removed from Kiriath-jearlm (2 Samuel 6 [in vv. 6–8 the name is Uzzah]= l Ch 13 "). Uzza’s sudden death at a place called, in comhiemoration of this untoward incident, Ferez-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 emblem too familiarly. 4. A ‘garden of Uzza’ (2 K 21) was attached to the palace of Manasseh.
