2 Samuel 6:8 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 6:8

And David was displeased, because the Lord had made a breach
upon Uzzah
He could not easily submit, and be reconciled to the providence; his heart was ready to rise up against God, and murmur at him for striking him dead in such an awful manner, for so small a matter as this might seem to be; and the rather, as this put a stop to the procession, and cast a damp upon their joy and mirth on this occasion, and might seem to be an ill omen to David, and be improved by his enemies against him:

and he called the name of the place Perezuzzah unto this day;
the name he gave the place, which signifies "the breach of Uzzah", continued to the time of writing this book.
