From the Wilderness the Ark was carried to Gilgal, Josh. 5.10 thence removed with the Tabernacle to Shiloh, Josh. 18.2. Some suppose that after this it was occasionally removed to Mizpeh, as Judg. 11.11.20.1, 27.21.1, 2. because it is said in those places, that such things were done before the Lord in Mizpeh: but that expression doth not necessarily inter the presence of the Ark and Sanctuary in that place. Yea, the context seems to intimate, that it was at another place distant from thence, as v. 26. they went up from the place of the Assembly in Mizpeh to the house of God, where the Ark was. In Shechem also it is supposed to have been, from the Assembly that Joshua made there, chap. 24.1. upon the close whereof, he fixed a stone of memorial before the Sanctuary, v. 26. But yet neither doth this evince the removal of the Ark or Sanctuary. For Shechem being not far from Shiloh, the people might meet in the Town for convenience, and then go some of them with Joshua unto Shiloh, as is most probable that they did. From Shiloh it was carried into the field of Aphek against the Philistines, 1 Sam. 4.2. and being taken by them, was carried first to Ashdod, then to Ekron, then to Gath, 1 Sam. 5. thence returned to Kiriath-jearim, 1 Sam. 6. to the house of Abinadab, 1 Sam. 6. thence to the house of Obed-Edom, 2 Sam. 6. thence to mount Zion in Jerusalem, 2 Sam. 6. into a place prepared for it by David. And from thence was solemnly introduced into, and enthroned in the most holy place of the Temple, built by Solomon, 1 King. 8.6, 7. In the mean time, whether occasionally, or by advice, the Tabernacle was removed from Shiloh, and that first place of the solemn Worship of God altogether deserted, and made an example of what God would afterwards do unto the Temple, when his Worship therein also was neglected and defiled
