Uzzah, a Levite of the Merarite clan, was the son of Shimei.
Uzzah was a Levite of the Merarite clan, son of Shimei and father of Shimea, listed in the genealogical records of 1 Chronicles 6:29. He is distinct from the more prominent Uzzah son of Abinadab who was struck dead for reaching out to steady the ark of the covenant (2 Samuel 6:6–8), though both names are spelled identically in Hebrew. This Uzzah appears only in the genealogical register and is not associated with any narrative episode.
