Psalms 78:60-61

60 He abandoned ^{▼▼ Or “rejected.”} the sanctuary at Shiloh,
the tent where he lived among men.
61 He allowed the symbol of his strong presence to be captured; ^{▼▼ Heb “and he gave to captivity his strength.” The expression “his strength” refers metonymically to the ark of the covenant, which was housed in the tabernacle at Shiloh.}
he gave the symbol of his splendor ^{▼▼ Heb “and his splendor into the hand of an enemy.” The expression “his splendor” also refers metonymically to the ark of the covenant.} into the hand of the enemy. ^{▼▼ Verses 60–61 refer to the Philistines’ capture of the ark in the days of Eli (1 Sam 4:1–11).}
