SCRIPTURE

"And David was displeased, because Jehovah had broken forth upon Uzza; and he called that place Perez-uzza, unto this day." — 1 Chronicles 13:11 (ASV)

Made a breach. —Broken forth against. The same verb recurs in 1 Chronicles 14:11. (Compare to Exodus 19:22.)

Therefore that place is called. —Heb., and he (one) called that place.

To this day. —It is not implied necessarily that the place was known by this name in the days of the Chronicles. The same phrase occurs in the parallel verse of Samuel, and the chronicler has merely given an exact transcript of his source.
