Places
Shiloh in 1 Samuel 1
SHY-loh
This place shows up in 1 Samuel 1:3: “This man went up out of his city from year to year to worship and to sacrifice to Yahweh of Armies in Shiloh. The two sons of Eli, Hophni…” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real place in a real place.
1 Samuel 1:3
“This man went up out of his city from year to year to worship and to sacrifice to Yahweh of Armies in Shiloh. The two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, priests to Yahweh, were there.”
What kids can learn
When you hear shiloh in 1 Samuel, remember the sentence around it. God put this place in the story on purpose.
Read 1 Samuel 1:3 again tomorrow and ask what the place is doing in the sentence, not only what it looks like.
