Usage: The term "Kidon" is used in the context of a geographical location in the Hebrew Bible. It is specifically mentioned in relation to an event involving the Ark of the Covenant. Context: Kidon is mentioned in the context of a significant biblical event involving the transportation of the Ark of the Covenant. In 1 Chronicles 13:9, the narrative describes how Uzzah reached out to steady the Ark as it was being transported, and the oxen stumbled at the threshing floor of Kidon. This act led to Uzzah's death, as it was considered irreverent to touch the Ark. The incident at Kidon serves as a reminder of the holiness of the Ark and the importance of following divine instructions. The location is also referred to as the "threshing floor of Nacon" in 2 Samuel 6:6, suggesting a possible alternate name or textual variation.
