1 Chronicles 13:11-13

13:11 David was angry because the Lord attacked Uzzah; so he called that place Perez Uzzah, which remains its name to this very day. 13:12 David was afraid of God that day and said, “How will I ever be able to bring the ark of God up here?” 13:13 So David did not move the ark to the City of David; he left it in the house of Obed-Edom the Gittite.


tn Heb “because the Lord broke out [with] breaking out [i.e., an outburst] against Uzzah.”

sn The name Perez Uzzah means in Hebrew “the outburst [against] Uzzah.”

sn The phrase the City of David refers here to the fortress of Zion in Jerusalem, not to Bethlehem. See 2 Sam 5:7.
