Old Testament
Nacon
The owner of a threshing floor where Uzzah was struck down for touching the Ark of the Covenant.
Nacon is identified solely as the owner of a threshing floor where the procession of the Ark of the Covenant to Jerusalem halted. When the oxen stumbled, Uzzah reached out to steady the Ark at this location and died for his irreverence. The site serves as a somber marker of the divine holiness and the necessity of following God's prescribed instructions for handling sacred objects.
