כִּידוֹן m.
(1) a dart, javelin (different from חֲנִית a lance), Job 39:23, 41:21 1 Samuel 17:6, 45 1 Samuel 17:45; Joshua 8:18, 26 Joshua 8:26; Jeremiah 6:23, 50:42. The etymology is uncertain: Bochart (Hieroz. i., p. 135-40) not unaptly derives it from כִּיד destruction, war; so that it would be a weapon of war (compare חֶרֶב sword, and حَرْبُ war). It might also be from the root כִּיד or כּוּדin the sense of invading, breaking in; compare גּוּד No. 2.
(2) [Chidon], pr.n. of a place near Jerusalem. גֹּרֶן כִּידוֹן (the threshing-floor of the dart) 1 Chronicles 13:9, for which in the parallel place there is, 2 Samuel 6:6, גֹּרֶן נָכוֹן (prepared threshing floor).
