Meaning

Uzza (strength).

1. A Benjamite of the sons of Ehud. (1Chronicles 8:7) (B.C. 1445.)

2. Elsewhere called UZZA, OR UZZAH. (1Chr 13:7; 1Chr 13:9; 1Chr 13:10; 1Chr 13:11) [UZZA, OR UZZAH ]

3. The children of Uzza were a family of Nethinim who returned with Zerubbabel. (Ezra 2:49; Nehemiah 7:51) (B.C. before 536.)

4. Properly Uzzah. As the text now stands, Uzzah is a descendant of Merari, (1Chronicles 6:29) (14); but there appears to be a gap in the verse. Perhaps he is the same as Zina or Zizah the son of Shimei. (1Chr 23:10; 1Chr 23:11) for these names evidently denote the same person, and, in Hebrew character, are not unlike Uzzah.
