Description
Who was Uzzah?
Uzzah was a man who died while transporting the ark of the covenant. He and his brother Ahio were guiding the cart carrying the ark when the oxen stumbled. Uzzah reached out his hand to steady the ark, but God struck him down for his irreverent act, and he died there beside the ark. The place where this occurred was named Perez-uzzah, which means "outbreak against Uzzah," and David was angry and afraid because of this divine judgment. The ark was then taken aside to the house of Obed-edom the Gittite.
Relations
Direct connections
Every entity the graph places in a stated relation with this one, grouped by the kind of link. Each relation is authored once and its inverse derived, so both ends always agree. Rows marked “registry” come from the identity spine rather than from a verse, and a row marked “which bearer is the source’s decision” is one where the name could have meant more than one person. The last group is not a relation at all — it counts the events two entities stand in together.

Places
Where this happens
The places the claims about this person reach, drawn where the gazetteer locates them. A point is where a row puts them and never where tradition does; no line joins two points, because the rows state where and not in what order.
The pattern
Where Uzzah is named
Every book of the corpus in the order it is read, each as wide as the chapters it holds. A bar is the verses of that book which write the name, and the flat stretches are as much of the answer as the bars.
8 verses across 2 of 66 books; 64 write the name nowhere. Named in 2 Samuel (4) and 1 Chronicles (4).
