In the Bible, Shiloh was the major Israelite worship center before Solomon’s temple was built in Jerusalem. Shiloh was chosen as the worship center of Israel after the conquest of Canaan. Recall that after the Children of Israel conquest of Canaan, the Tabernacle and the Ark of the Covenant were installed in Shiloh? making Shiloh the first center of worship in the Promised Land.

References are made to Shiloh in the Books of Joshua, Judges, 1 Samuel, 1 King, Psalms, and Jeremiah. According to Judges 21:19, the Shiloh of old is situated north of Bethel, east of the Bethel–Shechem highway, and south of Lebonah in the hill-country of Ephraim.

Shiloh has been synonymous with miracles; from Joshua leading the Children of Israel to victory after worshipping God at Shiloh, to God using his prophet Eli to open the barren womb of one of Elkanah’s wife Hannah, who later conceived and bore the Prophet Samuel.
