sil´a ( סלּא , ṣillā' ; Codex Vaticanus Γαλλά , Gallá ; Codex Alexandrinus Γααλλάς , Gaallád ): Joash was assassinated by his servants "at the house of Millo, on the way that goeth down to Silla" ( 2 Kings 12:20 ). Wherever Beth-millo stood, Silla was evidently in the valley below it; but nothing is known of what it was or where it stood.
