2 Samuel 13:21

13:21 Now King David heard about all these things and was very angry. ¹ 

2 Samuel 6:7-8

6:7 The Lord was so furious with Uzzah, ²  he ³  killed him on the spot ⁴  for his negligence. ⁵  He died right there beside the ark of God.

6:8 David was angry because the Lord attacked ⁶  Uzzah; so he called that place Perez Uzzah, ⁷  which remains its name to this very day.

2 Samuel 12:5

12:5 Then David became very angry at this man. He said to Nathan, “As surely as the Lord lives, the man who did this deserves to die! ⁸ 

2 Samuel 3:8

3:8 These words of Ish-bosheth really angered Abner and he said, “Am I the head of a dog that belongs to Judah? This very day I am demonstrating ⁹  loyalty to the house of Saul your father and to his relatives ¹⁰  and his friends! I have not betrayed you into the hand of David. Yet you have accused me of sinning with this woman today! ¹¹ 

¹ tc The LXX and part of the Old Latin tradition include the following addition to v. 21, also included in some English versions (e.g., NAB, NRSV, CEV): “But he did not grieve the spirit of Amnon his son, because he loved him, since he was his firstborn.” Note David’s attitude toward his son Adonijah in 1 Kgs 1:6.

² tn Heb “and the anger of the Lord burned against Uzzah.”

³ tn Heb “God.”

⁴ tc Heb “there.” Since this same term occurs later in the verse it is translated “on the spot” here for stylistic reasons.

⁵ tc The phrase “his negligence” is absent from the LXX.

³ tn Heb “because the Lord broke out [with] a breaking out [i.e., an outburst] against Uzzah.”

⁴ sn The name Perez Uzzah means in Hebrew “the outburst [against] Uzzah.”

⁴ tn Heb “the man doing this [is] a son of death.” See 1 Sam 20:31 for another use of this expression, which must mean “he is as good as dead” or “he deserves to die,” as 1 Sam 20:32 makes clear.

⁵ tn Heb “I do.”

⁶ tn Heb “brothers.”

⁷ tn Heb “and you have laid upon me the guilt of the woman today.”
