Dictionaries :: Uzza

Easton's Bible Dictionary

Uzza:

strengh, a garden in which Manasseh and Amon were buried (2Ki 21:18,26). It was probably near the king's palace in Jerusalem, or may have formed part of the palace grounds. Manasseh may probably have acquired it from some one of this name.

Smith's Bible Dictionary

Uzza:

(strength).

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

(2.) Elsewhere called UZZA, OR UZZAH (1 Chronicles 13:7; 13:9-11). SEE [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 (1 Chronicles 6:29) but there appears to be a gap in the verse. Perhaps he is the same as ZINA or ZIZAH the son of Shimei (1 Chronicles 23:10-11) for these names evidently denote the same person, and, in Hebrew character, are not unlike Uzzah. SEE [ZINA], [ZIZAH].
