Matthew Poole and continuators on Jeremiah 26:6

6 Then will I make this house like Shiloh , and will make this city a curse to all the nations of the earth .

Shiloh was the City where the Tabernacle was pitched, and the Ark, the symbol of Gods presence, was, Jud. 18.31. & 21.19. 1 Sam. 1.3.9.24. & 3.21. Out of it the Ark was carried, 1 Sam. 4.3. when it was taken by the Philistines, and was carried no more thither, but rested in Kirjath-jearim. 1 Sam. 7.2. where it rested 20 years. David fetched it from thence, 2 Sam▪ 6.2. So that as the Psalmist tells us, Psal. 78.60, 61. God forsook the Tabernacle in Shiloh; here he threatneth to do the like as to the Temple, because of which they had such a confidence. Jeremiah, chap. 7.12. had spoken much the same thing, it is a threatning that God would deprive them of his Ordinances.

To which he addeth a threatning of destruction to the City, to that degree that when men should curse any place, they should say, God do unto thee as he did to Jerusalem. We had the like phrase, chap. 24.9. and have it again, chap. 29.18, 22, &c.
