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 when he had brought them into his house, he set meat before them, and rejoiced, believing in God with all his house.”
