2 Samuel 6:6 says that Uzzah took hold of God’s ark when they came to the threshing floor of Nacon, and 1 Chronicles 13:9 that Uzza put out his hand to hold the ark when they came to Chidon’s threshing floor. Both editions write the two names differently (the Korean 나곤 and 기돈, WEB Nacon and Chidon). 2 Samuel 6:8 and 1 Chronicles 13:11 both say that that place was called Perez Uzzah (WEB writes Perez Uzza at 13:11, and the Korean Revised Version writes 베레스 웃사 there with a space). The text does not say whether the threshing floor of Nacon and Chidon’s threshing floor are one place. This collection records the Perez Uzzah of both verses as one entry and the two threshing floors apart, and does not decide whether they are the same place.

They are carried over from the tags on the Korean Revised Version, which are matched by name inside chapters that already have collected evidence, and a verse where the English says “he” carries none.
