2 Samuel 6:8 - Ellicott's Commentary On The Whole Bible

Bible Comments

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.

2 Samuel 6:8

8 And David was displeased, because the LORD had maded a breach upon Uzzah: and he called the name of the place Perezuzzah to this day.
