“And David was displeased, because the Lord had made a breach upon Uzzah: and he called the name of the place Perez–uzzah to this day.”
David was angry because the LORD had broken forth with a breach upon Uzzah — David's reaction is anger and fear. The 'breach' (פֶּרֶץ, p̄ereṣ) upon Uzzah—the sudden, violent death—terrifies David. He recognizes that the Lord's holiness is dangerous; the ark cannot be transported casually.
