This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
my place ... in Shiloh - God caused His tabernacle to be set up in Shiloh in Joshua’s days (Jos 18:1; Jdg 18:31). In Eli’s time God gave the ark, which had been at Shiloh, into the hands of the Philistines (Jer 26:6; 1Sa 4:10, 1Sa 4:11; Psa 78:56-61). Shiloh was situated between Beth-el and Shechem in Ephraim.
at the first - implying that Shiloh exceeded the Jewish temple in antiquity. But God’s favor is not tied down to localities (Act 7:44).
my people Israel - Israel was God’s people, yet He spared it not when rebellious: neither will He spare Judah, now that it rebels, though heretofore it has been His people.
