A Dictionary of the Book of Mormon/Shilom, City of

by George Reynolds

SHILOM, CITY OF. The chief, and, possibly, only city in the land of Shilom. It was built by the Nephites before the exodus under Mosiah I. When that migration took place, the Lamanites occupied it, but let it fall into decay. When the Nephites, under Zeniff, regained possession of the land, they repaired its delapidated walls and buildings, and king Noah greatly enlarged and beautified it.
