“So that he forsook the tabernacle of Shiloh, the tent which he placed among men;”
The judgment targets the sanctuary: "He abandoned his dwelling at Shiloh, the tent where he dwelt among the people." The destruction of the Shiloh sanctuary (historically associated with the capture of the ark by the Philistines in 1 Samuel 4) represents the most profound form of judgment: the withdrawal of God's presence from the covenant people. The loss of the sanctuary means the loss of the central place where God and Israel met.
