(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.
Is not this an awful account of David? Was he displeased with God? Shall not the judge of all the earth do right? How different was Aaron's behaviour at the death of his two sons, Aaron held his peace. Leviticus 10:3. David had other thoughts under the humbling providence afterwards, when driven from his throne by his ungodly son. Here I am (said David) let the Lord do to me as seemeth good unto him, 2 Samuel 15:26. But poor man, like another Jonah, when grace was not in exercise, he ventured to arraign God's proceedings. But how gently did the Lord deal with David; and how graciously did he expostulate with Jonah! See Jonah 4:9. Perez-uzzah, means the breach of Uzzah.
