Chidon

The name ace. *o 1 Ch 13» of the threshing-floor where Uzzah was struck dead for rashly touching the ark (see Uzzah). In 2 S 6" the name is given as Nacon, which Budde con- siders to be a less probable reading. No locality has ever been identified with either name. The view has been advanced that C. is the name, not of a place, but of the proprietor of the threshing-floor, and attempts have been made to identify him with Araunah or Oman the Jebusite. (See further Driver and WeUh. on 2 S 6«.) R. M. BoYD.
