Nacon, The Threshing Floor of
nakon, (, nakhon; the King James Version Nachon): The place where Uzzah was smitten for putting forth his hand to steady the ark, hence, called afterward Perezuzzah 2Sa 6:8; in the parallel passage 1Ch 13:9 we have , kdhon, and in Josephus (Ant., VII, iv, 2) , Cheidon. In 1Sa 23:23 the word nakhon occurs, and is translated of a certainty, margin with the certainty or to a set place; also in 1Sa 26:4 it is translated of a certainty, margin to a set place. It is uncertain whether in 1Sa 6:6 it is a place-name at all; and no successful attempt has been made to identify either Nacon or Chidon; possibly they are both personal names.
