Excerpt from The Tabernacle: Its History and Structure
He has made considerable use of the much-neglected materials contained in the Books of the Chronicles, and has shown that when properly understood they are worthy of more credit than criticism nowadays is disposed to allow. That David should have left plans of the future temple-buildings behind him may seem too modern an idea to many readers, but it is borne out by archaeological fact. Such plans were made in Egypt and Babylonia centuries before the days of David, and some of them have survived to our own time. The profession of the architect is immensely old in the civilised East.
One of the points upon which he has rightly insisted is the historical importance of the destruction of Shiloh. It is a point to which I also have drawn attention in my Early History of the Hebrews. That there should be no detailed account of it in the Old Testament is not surprising; Shiloh was the centre and home of what literary culture there was in Israel during the stormy period of the Judges, and its destruction necessarily meant a break in the literary and annalistic record. It would have been at the central sanctuary only that a yearly chronicle of events could be kept.
