The name "Kidon" is associated with a threshing floor, a location that plays a crucial role in the narrative of King David's efforts to bring the Ark of the Covenant to Jerusalem.<br><br><b>Biblical Reference:</b><br>The primary reference to Kidon is found in <a href="/1_chronicles/13-9.htm">1 Chronicles 13:9</a>, which states: "When they came to the threshing floor of Kidon, Uzzah reached out and took hold of the ark, because the oxen had stumbled." <br><br><b>Historical and Cultural Context:</b><br>The threshing floor of Kidon is a site mentioned during the transportation of the Ark of the Covenant from Kiriath-jearim to Jerusalem. Threshing floors in ancient Israel were typically open, flat areas where grain was separated from chaff. These locations were often used for significant gatherings and events due to their spaciousness and visibility.<br><br><b>Theological Significance:</b><br>The incident at the threshing floor of Kidon is a pivotal moment in the narrative of the Ark's journey. Uzzah's action of reaching out to steady the Ark when the oxen stumbled resulted in his immediate death, as recorded in <a href="/1_chronicles/13-10.htm">1 Chronicles 13:10</a>: "Then the anger of the LORD burned against Uzzah, and He struck him down because he had put his hand on the ark; so he died there before God." <br><br>This event underscores the holiness and sanctity of the Ark, which represented the presence of God among His people. The Ark was to be handled with utmost reverence, and the incident serves as a stark reminder of the importance of obedience to God's commands regarding sacred objects.<br><br><b>Related Locations:</b><br>The parallel account in <a href="/2_samuel/6-6.htm">2 Samuel 6:6</a> refers to the same location as the "threshing floor of Nacon." This has led to some scholarly discussion regarding the name variation, but both accounts describe the same event.<br><br><b>Lessons and Applications:</b><br>The account of Kidon and the death of Uzzah highlights the necessity of approaching God with reverence and respect for His holiness. It serves as a cautionary tale about the consequences of disregarding divine instructions and the importance of understanding the sacredness of God's presence.<br><br><b>Conclusion:</b><br>While the narrative of Kidon is brief, it is a powerful reminder of the reverence due to God and His commands. The threshing floor of Kidon remains a significant location in biblical history, illustrating the intersection of human actions and divine holiness.<a name="heb" id="heb"></a><div class="vheading2">Strong's Hebrew</div><a href="/hebrew/3592.htm"><span class="l">3592. <b>Kidon</b> -- a place in Palestine</span></a><br><b>Kidon</b> or <b>Kidon</b>. 3591, 3592. <b>Kidon</b> or <b>Kidon</b>. 3593 . a place in Palestine.<br> Transliteration: <b>Kidon</b> or <b>Kidon</b> Phonetic Spelling: (kee <b>...</b> <br><font color="#ff6600" size="-1">/hebrew/3592.htm</font><font color="#ff6600" size="-1"> - 6k</font><p> <a href="/hebrew/3591.htm"><span class="l">3591. <b>kidon</b> -- a dart, javelin</span></a><br><b>...</b> 3590, 3591. <b>kidon</b>. 3592 . a dart, javelin.
