  Uzza - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Al-Lāt is likewise said to have been derived from the very name Allāh.
According to Easton's Bible Dictionary, Uzza was a garden in which Manasseh and Amon were buried (2 Kings 21:18, 26).

Together with his brother Ahio, he drove the new cart on which was placed the Ark of the Covenant when, accompanied by David and all the house of Israel, it was brought from Abinadab's house at Gibeah to Jerusalem.
When they came to the thrashing-floor of Nachon, the oxen which drew the cart stumbled, and Uzza took hold of the Ark to steady it; whereupon he was slain by God "'al ha-shal" (= "for his error").
By not perceiving this, and thinking that the Ark might be prevented from falling by stopping the oxen, Uzza had brought death on himself.

AlQaum with Ares/Mars, Manawat with Nemesis, Allat was with Athena/Minerva, and Al Uzza with Aphrodite, Urania/Venus, and Caelestis.
When all of these factors were taken together, several archeologists concluded that a single goddess is involved and that she is, indeed, a “supreme“ goddess, under various aspects, and with a multitude of attributes and symbols, such as being portrayed in feline form.
As with Al Uzza, Manawat similarly does not emerge to any major role among the Nabataeans, judging from the relative infrequency with which she was invoked in ancient inscriptions.

Uzza is also Azazel, the devil to whom the Jews dispatched the scape-goat carrying their sins on the annual Day of Atonement.
Uzza claimed that the bondage of the Hebrews had not been completed; only 86 years, not 400 had passed.
If 430 years (not 400) are divided by 86, and the dividend is 5; then Uzza could have been calculating in some cycles of 86 years, but the legend is mute about the further meaning and I know of no such cycle.

 Biblica 85 (2004) Nadav NA’AMAN
Manasseh was buried ‘in the garden of his house, in the garden of Uzza’ (2 Kgs 22,18); his son, Amon, was buried ‘in his tomb in the garden of Uzza’ (2 Kgs 22,26).
With the transfer of the burial place to a new site (the garden of Uzza), he omitted the death formula, which no longer fitted anymore the new rulers, who were neither buried with their ancestors nor in the City of David.
The garden of Uzza, which in 2 Kgs 21,18 is called ‘the garden of his house’, is clearly the King’s Garden mentioned in 2 Kgs 25,4; Jer 52,7 and Neh 3,15.

 But aren't you limiting God?
God killed Uzza, on the spot, for touching the ark! Even though Uzza was "doing good" — he disobeyed God and God was ANGRY — "And the ANGER of the LORD was kindled against Uzza, and he smote him".
Uzza knew better than "touch" the ark. But the ark was obviously NOT sacred and holy to Uzza anymore.
And like Uzza, rather than obey the Lord, CCM does it their way — rather than God's way.
