Uzza
(strength).
1. A Benjamite of the sons of Ehud. 1Ch 8:7 (B.C. 1445.)
2. Elsewhere called UZZAH. 1Ch 13:7,9,10,11 [UZZAH]
3. The children of Uzza were a family of Nethinim who returned with Zerubbabel. Ezr 2:49; Ne 7:51 (B.C. before 536.)
4. Properly Uzzah. As the text now stands, Uzzah is a descendant of Merari, 1Ch 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. 1Ch 23:10,11 for these names evidently denote the same person, and, in Hebrew character, are not unlike Uzzah.
