About Chidon (Nacon)

The threshing floor where God struck down Huzzah as he attempted to steady the ark of the covenant (1 Chronicles 13:9). The parallel passage in 2 Samuel 6:6 refers to this place as “the threshing floor of Nacon.” Following the death of Uzzah, King David renamed the place, "Perez-uzzah." This means either “the breach of Uzzah” or “the outbreak against Uzzah” (2 Samuel 6:8; 1 Chronicles 13:11).
