📚 Historical Context
Shiloh was the religious center of Israel for about 300 years, where the tabernacle and Ark of the Covenant were housed after the Israelites settled in the Promised Land. God abandoned Shiloh around 1050 BC when the Philistines captured the Ark during a battle, marking the end of this era. This abandonment happened because of Israel's repeated unfaithfulness and the corruption of the priesthood there.
