This Chapter Verse Commentaries:





Shiloh was the city where the tabernacle was pitched, and the ark, the symbol of God’s presence, was, Jud_18:31 21:19 1Sa_1:3,9,24 3:21. Out of it the ark was carried, 1Sa_4:3, when it was taken by the Philistines, and was carried no more thither, but rested in Kirjath-jearim, 1Sa_7:2, where it rested twenty years. David fetched it from thence, 2Sa_6:2. So that, as the psalmist tells us, Psa_78:60,61, God forsook the tabernacle of Shiloh; here he threateneth to do the like as to the temple, because of which they had such a confidence. Jeremiah, Jer_7:12, had spoken much the same thing; it is a threatening that God would deprive them of his ordinances. To which he addeth a threatening of destruction to the city, to that degree, that when men should curse any place, they should say, God do unto thee as he did to Jerusalem. We had the like phrase Jer_24:9, and have it again Jer_29:18,22, &c.
