1 Samuel - 7:17 Meaning

“And his return was to Ramah; for there was his house; and there he judged Israel; and there he built an altar unto the LORD.”

King James Version (KJV)

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

7:13-17 In this great revival of true religion, the ark was neither removed to Shiloh, nor placed with the tabernacle any where else. This disregard to the Levitical institutions showed that their typical meaning formed their chief use; and when that was overlooked, they became a lifeless service, not to be compared with repentance, faith, and the love of God and man.

“And thou shalt bring the meat offering that is made of these things unto the LORD: and when it is presented unto the priest, he shall bring it unto the altar.”
