The whole congregation of the children of Israel assembled themselves together at Shiloh, and set up the tent of meeting there: and the land was subdued before them.
The apparent reason for mentioning this change of the tabernacle from Gilgal near the Jordan, where it had been set up shortly after the Jordan crossing, is that it was to remain there at Shiloh for a long time.  "The tabernacle remained at Shiloh for more than 300 years."[1]  In fact, it remained there until the times of Eli and the loss of the Ark of the Covenant to the Philistines who also destroyed the city  (1 Samuel 4:1-11). "Shiloh succeeded Gilgal as the central shrine of Israel until it was destroyed about 1050 B.C., presumably by the Philistines."[2]
