Is "Shilom" a Jaredite-Mulekite name? Notice the "mimmation." [Alan C. Miner, Personal Notes]
“Shilom”
Much like Lehi-Nephi, the land of "Shilom" (Mosiah 9:6) was probably a part of a larger land of Nephi. In Hebrew, the word shilom means peace. Perhaps this area of land was so named in honor of the peace treaty originally negotiated between Zeniff and the Lamanite king.
The land of Shilom was apparently sparsely populated for agricultural and grazing purposes. It is significant that the land of Shilom is not mentioned routinely after the departure of king Noah, apparently because of the fact that in response to the persecutions of the Lamanites, "the people of Limhi kept together in a body as much as it was possible, and secured their grain and their flocks" (Mosiah 21:18). Thereafter, the land of Shilom is only mentioned in a description of Limhi's escape, where the people of Limhi went "round about the land of Shilom" without any mention of including the people of Shilom or giving any reasons why they did not include those people (see Mosiah 22:11). Thus Shilom, perhaps because of its sparse population and its grazing potential, would eventually become occupied by the Lamanites. [Alan C. Miner, Personal Notes]
