Chidon

CHIDON. The threshing floor of Chidon is the place where Uzzah was suddenly struck dead, for having imprudently laid his hands upon the Ark, which tottered in the Cart. In the second Book of 2 Sam. vi. 6.Samuel, this threshing floor is called the threshing floor of Nachon. We do not know whether the names of Nachon and Chidon are the names of Men or Places.
