From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Chidon       dart, the name of the threshing-floor at which the death of       Uzzah took place (1 Chr. 13:9). In the parallel passage in       Samuel (2 Sam. 6:6) it is called "Nachon's threshing-floor." It       was a place not far north-west from Jerusalem.
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Chittim       or Kittim, a plural form (Gen. 10:4), the name of a branch of       the descendants of Javan, the "son" of Japheth. Balaam foretold       (Num. 24:24) "that ships shall come from the coast of Chittim,       and afflict Eber." Daniel prophesied (11:30) that the ships of       Chittim would come against the king of the north. It probably       denotes Cyprus, whose ancient capital was called Kition by the       Greeks.                The references elsewhere made to Chittim (Isa. 23:1, 12; Jer.       2:10; Ezek. 27:6) are to be explained on the ground that while       the name originally designated the Phoenicians only, it came       latterly to be used of all the islands and various settlements       on the sea-coasts which they had occupied, and then of the       people who succeeded them when the Phoenician power decayed.       Hence it designates generally the islands and coasts of the       Mediterranean and the races that inhabit them.
