So he forsook the tabernacle of Shiloh The tabernacle which then was placed in Shiloh, from whence, as the Israelites fetched the ark, so God withdrew himself. This relates to that part of the Jewish history which is recorded 1 Samuel 4. For upon the Israelites sending for the ark of God, from the tabernacle in which it was deposited in Shiloh, God suffered the Philistines to smite them, and to take the ark. And so true it is, that he forsook the tabernacle of Shiloh, that he never returned to it again. The tent which he placed among men Whereby he insinuates both God's wonderful condescension and favour to such worthless and wretched creatures; and their stupendous folly and wickedness, in despising and sinning away so glorious a privilege. And delivered his strength Namely, the ark, called God's strength, (1 Chronicles 16:11,) and the ark of his strength, (Psalms 132:8,) because it was the sign and pledge of his strength and power exerted in behalf of his people; and his glory So the ark is called, as being the monument and seat of God's glorious presence, and an instrument of his glorious works; into the enemy's Namely, the Philistines' hand, or power.
