2 Samuel 6:8 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

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.

David was displeased - rather, grieved; for, whatever were his first impressions, he became sensible of the sin that had been committed, and, sincerely repenting, took care that the people should not again all into the same, error (cf 1 Chronicles 15:2; 1 Chronicles 15:13). Josephus informs us ('Antiquities,' b. 7:, ch. 4:, sec. 2) that the name of the place was continued even until his time.
