Thematic Bible: Set up in shiloh


Thematic Bible



Then the Israelites inquired of the Lord. In those days, the ark of the covenant of God was there, and Phinehas son of Eleazar, son of Aaron, was serving before it. The Israelites asked: "Should we again fight against our brothers the Benjaminites or should we stop?" The Lord answered: "Fight, because I will hand them over to you tomorrow."

When the troops returned to the camp, the elders of Israel asked, "Why did the Lord let us be defeated today by the Philistines? Let's bring the ark of the Lord's covenant from Shiloh. Then it will go with us and save us from the hand of our enemies." So the people sent [men] to Shiloh to bring back the ark of the covenant of the Lord of Hosts, who dwells [between] the cherubim. Eli's two sons, Hophni and Phinehas, were there with the ark of the covenant of God.

The entire Israelite community assembled at Shiloh where it set up the tent of meeting there; the land had been subdued by them. Verse ConceptsCongregationPriesthood, In OtShrinesTent Of MeetingArk Of The Covenant, EventsSacred PlacesThe House Of God At Shiloh
