5. Usually the date given for the destruction of Shiloh is 1050 B.C. (e.g., John Bright, A History of Israel, 3rd ed. (Philadelphia: Westminster, 1981), 185-86. But Eugene H. Merrill, Kingdom of Priests, p. 176, notes that the Bible does not say that Shiloh was destroyed at the same time that the ark was lost to the Philistines. He argues that the destruction referred to in Jeremiah 7:12, 14; 26:6, 9 may have taken place as much as fifty years after the tabernacle had long been removed from that city to Nob and Gibeon. It is difficult to say, for the evidence is not clear one way or the other.

6. See the definitive article by Asher S. Kaufman, “Fixing the Site of the Tabernacle at Shiloh,” BAR 14.6 (1988): 46-52. This identification some will find tentative at best, with some justification. On Ebenezer, see Moshekochav and Aaron Demsky, ‘An Israelite Village from the Days of the Judges,” BAR 4 (1978): 18-21.

7. This section is indebted to the careful suggestions made by Eugene H. Merrill, Kingdom of Priests, pp. 243-48.

8. Eugene H. Merrill, Kingdom of Priests, p. 248, n. 37, calls attention to the fact that “if one fails to recognize a time interval between 1 Chronicles 29:22 a and b … [one must] see H. G. M. Williams, I and II Chronicles, New Century Bible Commentary (Grand Rapids: Eerdmans, 1982), 186-87” for the problems thus incurred.
