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; Sa1 4:10-11; 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. |
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
Go ye unto my place in Shiloh - This argument roused the indignation of the people Jer 26:8-9, Jer 26:11. The ark, Jeremiah shows, had not always been at Jerusalem. The place first chosen, as the center of the nation's worship, was Shiloh, a town to the north of Bethel, situated in the powerful tribe of Ephraim (Jos 18:1 note). The ruin of Shiloh is ascribed Psa 78:58-64 to the idolatry which prevailed in Israel after the death of Joshua; a similar ruin due to similar causes should fall on Jerusalem Jer 7:14. The site of Shiloh is identified with Seilun, the ruins of which are so insignificant as to bear out Jerome's remark, "At Silo, where once was the tabernacle and ark of the Lord, there can scarcely be pointed out the foundation of an altar."
At the first - In the first stage, the first period of the existence of the Jewish commonwealth, Shiloh was to the Judges what Jerusalem subsequently was to the kings; and as the fall of Shiloh through the wickedness of Eli's sons marked the period when the government by Judges was to pass away, and the second stage begin; so the power of the kings perished at the fall of Jerusalem, and left the way clear for the third stage of Jewish polity, government by the scribes. |

| Shiloh - A place in the tribe of Ephraim. Where - Where I did at first give you the pledges of my presence. What I did - He utterly forsook it. |
| Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
| But go ye now unto my place which was in Shiloh - See what I did to my tabernacle and ark formerly: after a long residence at Shiloh, for the iniquity of the priests and the people, I suffered it to fall into the hands of the Philistines, and to be carried captive into their land, and to be set up in the house of their idols. And because of your iniquities, I will deal with you and this temple in the same way; for as I spared not Shiloh, though my ark was there, but made it a victim of my wrath, so will I do to Jerusalem and her temple. |
44 Our [2257] fathers [3962] had [2258] the tabernacle [4633] of witness [3142] [1722] in [1722] the wilderness [2048], as [2531] he had appointed [1299], speaking [2980] unto Moses [3475], that he should make [4160] it [846] according [2596] to the fashion [5179] that [3739] he had seen [3708].
56 Yet they tempted [05254] and provoked [04784] the most high [05945] God [0430], and kept [08104] not his testimonies [05713]:
57 But turned back [05472], and dealt unfaithfully [0898] like their fathers [01]: they were turned aside [02015] like a deceitful [07423] bow [07198].
58 For they provoked him to anger [03707] with their high places [01116], and moved him to jealousy [07065] with their graven images [06456].
59 When God [0430] heard [08085] this, he was wroth [05674], and greatly [03966] abhorred [03988] Israel [03478]:
60 So that he forsook [05203] the tabernacle [04908] of Shiloh [07887], the tent [0168] which he placed [07931] among men [0120];
61 And delivered [05414] his strength [05797] into captivity [07628], and his glory [08597] into the enemy's [06862] hand [03027].
10 And the Philistines [06430] fought [03898], and Israel [03478] was smitten [05062], and they fled [05127] every man [0376] into his tent [0168]: and there was a very [03966] great [01419] slaughter [04347]; for there fell [05307] of Israel [03478] thirty [07970] thousand [0505] footmen [07273].
11 And the ark [0727] of God [0430] was taken [03947]; and the two [08147] sons [01121] of Eli [05941], Hophni [02652] and Phinehas [06372], were slain [04191].
6 Then will I make [05414] this house [01004] like Shiloh [07887], and will make [05414] this city [05892] a curse [07045] to all the nations [01471] of the earth [0776].
31 And they set them up [07760] Micah's [04318] graven image [06459], which he made [06213], all the time [03117] that the house [01004] of God [0430] was in Shiloh [07887].
1 And the whole congregation [05712] of the children [01121] of Israel [03478] assembled together [06950] at Shiloh [07887], and set up [07931] the tabernacle [0168] of the congregation [04150] there. And the land [0776] was subdued [03533] before [06440] them.
14 Therefore will I do [06213] unto this house [01004], which is called [07121] by my name [08034], wherein ye trust [0982], and unto the place [04725] which I gave [05414] to you and to your fathers [01], as I have done [06213] to Shiloh [07887].
58 For they provoked him to anger [03707] with their high places [01116], and moved him to jealousy [07065] with their graven images [06456].
59 When God [0430] heard [08085] this, he was wroth [05674], and greatly [03966] abhorred [03988] Israel [03478]:
60 So that he forsook [05203] the tabernacle [04908] of Shiloh [07887], the tent [0168] which he placed [07931] among men [0120];
61 And delivered [05414] his strength [05797] into captivity [07628], and his glory [08597] into the enemy's [06862] hand [03027].
62 He gave [05462] his people [05971] over [05462] also unto the sword [02719]; and was wroth [05674] with his inheritance [05159].
63 The fire [0784] consumed [0398] their young men [0970]; and their maidens [01330] were not given to marriage [01984].
64 Their priests [03548] fell [05307] by the sword [02719]; and their widows [0490] made no lamentation [01058].
1 And the whole congregation [05712] of the children [01121] of Israel [03478] assembled together [06950] at Shiloh [07887], and set up [07931] the tabernacle [0168] of the congregation [04150] there. And the land [0776] was subdued [03533] before [06440] them.
11 Then spake [0559] the priests [03548] and the prophets [05030] unto the princes [08269] and to all the people [05971], saying [0559], This man [0376] is worthy [04941] to die [04194]; for he hath prophesied [05012] against this city [05892], as ye have heard [08085] with your ears [0241].
8 Now it came to pass, when Jeremiah [03414] had made an end [03615] of speaking [01696] all that the LORD [03068] had commanded [06680] him to speak [01696] unto all the people [05971], that the priests [03548] and the prophets [05030] and all the people [05971] took [08610] him, saying [0559], Thou shalt surely [04191] die [04191].
9 Why hast thou prophesied [05012] in the name [08034] of the LORD [03068], saying [0559], This house [01004] shall be like Shiloh [07887], and this city [05892] shall be desolate [02717] without an inhabitant [03427]? And all the people [05971] were gathered [06950] against Jeremiah [03414] in the house [01004] of the LORD [03068].
