  Shiloh \Shi"loh\ (sh[imac]"l[=o]), n. [Heb. sh[imac]l[=o]h,
     literally, quiet, rest, fr. sh[=a]l[=a]h to rest.] (Script.)
     A word used by Jacob on his deathbed, and interpreted
     variously, as "the Messiah," or as the city "Shiloh," or as
     "Rest."
     [1913 Webster]



From WordNet (r) 2.0 [wn]:

  Shiloh
       n : the second great battle of the American Civil War (1862);
           the battle ended with the withdrawal of Confederate
           troops but it was not a Union victory [syn: {battle of
           Shiloh}, {battle of Pittsburgh Landing}]

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:

  Shiloh
     generally understood as denoting the Messiah, "the peaceful
     one," as the word signifies (Gen. 49:10). The Vulgate Version
     translates the word, "he who is to be sent," in allusion to the
     Messiah; the Revised Version, margin, "till he come to Shiloh;"
     and the LXX., "until that which is his shall come to Shiloh." It
     is most simple and natural to render the expression, as in the
     Authorized Version, "till Shiloh come," interpreting it as a
     proper name (comp. Isa. 9:6).
     
       Shiloh, a place of rest, a city of Ephraim, "on the north side
     of Bethel," from which it is distant 10 miles (Judg. 21:19); the
     modern Seilun (the Arabic for Shiloh), a "mass of shapeless
     ruins." Here the tabernacle was set up after the Conquest (Josh.
     18:1-10), where it remained during all the period of the judges
     till the ark fell into the hands of the Philistines. "No spot in
     Central Palestine could be more secluded than this early
     sanctuary, nothing more featureless than the landscape around;
     so featureless, indeed, the landscape and so secluded the spot
     that from the time of St. Jerome till its re-discovery by Dr.
     Robinson in 1838 the very site was forgotten and unknown." It is
     referred to by Jeremiah (7:12, 14; 26:4-9) five hundred years
     after its destruction.
