at Shiloh in the land of Canaan and said to them, “The LORD commanded through Moses that we be given cities in which to live, together with pasturelands for our livestock.”

Here: Shiloh is where the tent of meeting had just been set up (Josh 18:1) and where the later land allotments were made by lot “before the LORD” (18:10; 19:51). Making the request there puts it in front of God's sanctuary.

1 Samuel 4:4 שִׁלֹ֔ה Shiloh

So the people sent men to Shiloh, and they brought back the ark of the covenant of the LORD of Hosts, who sits enthroned between the cherubim. And the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were there with the ark of the covenant of God.

Here: The sanctuary town in the hill country of Ephraim where the ark was kept under Eli's priestly family (1 Sam 1–3). Hebrew uses no preposition here: the place name alone marks where they sent, 'sent Shiloh-ward'.

Jeremiah 7:14 לְשִׁלֽוֹ׃ to Shiloh

therefore what I did to Shiloh I will now do to the house that bears My Name, the house in which you trust, the place that I gave to you and your fathers.

Here: Shiloh was Israel's earlier central shrine, where the tent sanctuary and the ark stood in the time of Eli and Samuel (Josh 18:1; 1 Sam 1–4). By Jeremiah's day it was a ruin, a byword for a sanctuary that God had abandoned. The verse ends on this name, with the force of a closing blow.

How dare you prophesy in the name of the LORD that this house will become like Shiloh and this city will be desolate and deserted!” And all the people assembled against Jeremiah in the house of the LORD.

eighty men who had shaved off their beards, torn their garments, and cut themselves came from Shechem, Shiloh, and Samaria, carrying grain offerings and frankincense for the house of the LORD.

Here: Shiloh was the site of Israel's early sanctuary, which had long been in ruins. Jeremiah had used it as his great warning: 'I will make this house like Shiloh' (Jer 7:12–14; 26:6). Now men from Shiloh come to grieve over Jerusalem's ruined temple.
