Context — Uzzah Touches the Ark
6When they came to the threshing floor of Nacon, Uzzah reached out and took hold of the ark of God, because the oxen had stumbled.
7And the anger of the LORD burned against Uzzah, and God struck him down on the spot for his irreverence, and he died there beside the ark of God.
8Then David became angry because the LORD had burst forth against Uzzah. So he named that place Perez-uzzah, as it is called to this day.
9That day David feared the LORD and asked, “How can the ark of the LORD ever come to me?” 10So he was unwilling to move the ark of the LORD to the City of David; instead, he took it aside to the house of Obed-edom the Gittite.Cross References

2 Samuel 6:8 Summary
In 2 Samuel 6:8, David became angry with the LORD because of what happened to Uzzah, but this event marked the beginning of David's growth in understanding the LORD's holiness and power. As we reflect on this verse, we can learn the importance of trusting in the LORD's goodness and sovereignty, even when we do not understand His ways (Romans 11:33-36). We can also see how David's experience can teach us to approach the LORD with reverence and respect, recognizing His power and majesty, as described in Psalms 95:6-7. By applying these lessons to our own lives, we can deepen our relationship with the LORD and grow in our trust and obedience to Him.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why did David become angry with the LORD in 2 Samuel 6:8?
David became angry because he did not understand why the LORD had burst forth against Uzzah, but as we see in the next verses, David's fear and respect for the LORD grew as he reflected on the event, much like the Psalmist in Psalms 119:120, who feared God's judgments.
What does the name Perez-uzzah signify in this context?
The name Perez-uzzah, which means 'bursting forth against Uzzah', serves as a reminder of the LORD's power and the importance of treating Him with reverence, as seen in Leviticus 10:1-3 where the LORD consumed Nadab and Abihu for their irreverence.
How did David's perception of the LORD change after this event?
After this event, David's perception of the LORD changed from one of anger to one of fear and respect, as we see in 2 Samuel 6:9 where David asks 'How can the ark of the LORD ever come to me?' indicating a growing understanding of the LORD's holiness and power, similar to Isaiah's experience in Isaiah 6:1-5.
What can we learn from David's initial reaction to the LORD's judgment on Uzzah?
We can learn that even when we do not understand the LORD's ways, we must trust in His goodness and sovereignty, as proclaimed in Romans 11:33-36, and seek to grow in our understanding of His character and ways, as encouraged in Psalms 107:43.
Reflection Questions
- What are some ways I can show reverence and respect for the LORD in my daily life, just as David learned to do after this event?
- How do I respond when I do not understand the LORD's ways or actions in my life or the lives of those around me?
- What are some areas where I may be 'reaching out' to control or manipulate things that are God's domain, and how can I learn to trust Him more fully, as David did after this experience?
- In what ways can I, like David, allow my fears and uncertainties to drive me deeper into the LORD's presence and Word, rather than away from Him, and how can I apply the lessons of 2 Samuel 6:8 to my own life?
Gill's Exposition on 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
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on 2 Samuel 6:8
And David was displeased, because the LORD had made a breach upon Uzzah: and he called the name of the place Perezuzzah to this day.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on 2 Samuel 6:8
David was displeased, or, grieved, both for the sin, which he acknowledgeth, ,13, and for God’ s heavy judgment; whereby their hopes were dashed, and their joys interrupted, and a good subject struck dead for the circumstantial error of a pious mind, which he might possibly think harsh and very severe, and therefore be displeased or offended at this sharp providence.
Trapp's Commentary on 2 Samuel 6:8
2 Samuel 6:8 And David was displeased, because the LORD had made a breach upon Uzzah: and he called the name of the place Perezuzzah to this day.Ver. 8. And David was displeased,] He was in a pet, in a passion, in a fit of discontent, if he could have told at whom or at what: and how untowardly spake he, as if the fault were more in God than in himself! Dogs in a chase bark at their own masters sometimes. It troubled David that all the people’ s joy should be so suddenly dashed and damped with this sad disaster; and he had somewhat to do to strike sail and stoop. Et exarsit Davidi, sc., nasus; quae est descriptio irae. - Pisc.
Ellicott's Commentary on 2 Samuel 6:8
(8) Was displeased.—More exactly, was angry. The cause of his vexation was the Divine judgment upon Uzzah; yet it does not follow that he was angry with God, but rather was simply vexed and disturbed at this most untoward interruption of his plans. Made a breach.—Comp. Exodus 19:22, where the same word is used of a sudden Divine visitation upon irreverence. The phrase “to this day” is extremely indefinite, and might have been used either ten years or centuries after the event.
Cambridge Bible on 2 Samuel 6:8
8. was displeased] The same word is used in 1 Samuel 15:11 (E. V. it grieved Samuel) to denote vexation akin to anger. made a breach] Broke forth upon Uzzah: the same verb as in ch. 2 Samuel 5:20 : used in a precisely similar sense of a sudden divine judgment in Exodus 19:22; Exodus 19:24.
Barnes' Notes on 2 Samuel 6:8
Displeased - Grief allied to anger seems to be intended. Compare 1 Samuel 15:11 note. On the name of the place, compare 2 Samuel 5:20.
Whedon's Commentary on 2 Samuel 6:8
8. David was displeased — Mortified and chagrined at the sudden and unhappy interruption of the triumphal procession. Various passions for the moment revelled in his soul.
