| WHERE DID UZZAH DIE? NACHON'S THRESHINGFLOOR, OR CHIDON'S? |
| II Samuel 6:6-7 And when they came to
Nachon's threshingfloor, Uzzah put forth his hand to the ark of God,
and took hold of it; for the oxen shook it. And the anger of the LORD was
kindled against Uzzah; and God smote him there for his error; and there he
died by the ark of God. (KJV)
I Chronicles 13:9-10 And when they came unto the threshingfloor of Chidon, Uzza put forth his hand to hold the ark; for the oxen stumbled. And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Uzza, and he smote him, because he put his hand to the ark: and there he died before God. (KJV)

| Chidon is most likely a place, but most scholars think that Nachon is a person's name. And even if it is a place, Nichon could be within Chidon or vice versa, not causing a contradiction. To say that Nichon is a place that is completely separated from Chidon would be an assumption that cannot be supported. Not a contradiction. |
