“And this man went up out of his city yearly to worship and to sacrifice unto the Lord of hosts in Shiloh. And the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, the priests of the Lord, were there.”
Year by year Elkanah went up to Shiloh to worship and to sacrifice—the annual pilgrimage to the sanctuary where the ark of the covenant rested (before the temple). Shiloh represents the seat of liturgical order and divine presence; it is where prayer meets sacrifice, where the human petition ascends to heaven.
