Tel Shiloh
Uncovering Biblical Shiloh
Ancient Shiloh was first established in the Middle Bronze (MB) II period, around 1650 B.C. It was expanded in MB III, around 1500 B.C. and was continuously occupied until the middle of Iron Age I (around 1050 B.C.) when it was destroyed by the Philistines (see I Samuel 4). It was rebuilt in Iron II (980–587 B.C.) and was occupied through Early Roman times. The Byzantines built a number of impressive structures there. Most importantly, it was the center of Israelite worship. The tabernacle was erected at Shiloh and may have been later replaced by a more permanent structure.
