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.

2 Samuel 6:8 In-Context

6 When they came to the threshing floor of Nacon, Uzzah put forth [his hand] to the ark of God, and took hold of it; for the oxen stumbled.
7 The anger of Yahweh was kindled against Uzzah; and God struck him there for his error; and there he died by the ark of God.
8 David was displeased, because Yahweh had broken forth on Uzzah; and he called that place Perez-uzzah, to this day.
9 David was afraid of Yahweh that day; and he said, How shall the ark of Yahweh come to me?
10 So David would not remove the ark of Yahweh to him into the city of David; but David carried it aside into the house of Obed-edom the Gittite.
