66 God scattered his enemies
and made them ashamed

    not to make his home
with Joseph's descendants
    in Ephraim.[a]
68 Instead he chose the tribe
    of Judah,
and he chose Mount Zion,
    the place he loves.

The town of Shiloh was in the territory of Ephraim, but the place where God was worshiped was moved from there to Zion (Jerusalem) in the territory of Judah.
