Silla
Silla
the actual and supreme god in the mythology of the Greenlanders, who is also named Pirksoma. The name signifies the one above. He raises the dead to eternal life, and is graciously or angrily disposed towards men in accordance with their character for virtue. The training of children is not at all understood by that people; but the invariable earnestness, quietness, and good behavior of the older persons produce their effects upon the young in begetting in them similar traits. A mother may, nevertheless, be heard now and then to rebuke her child with the words Silla tekoa, i.e. the one above Isees it. Cilla is to them the Supreme and Incomprehensible Being.

Silla (2)
(Heb. Silla’, , a twig or basket [Gesen.], a highway [Furst]; Sept. and ; Vulg. Sela). The house of Milio which goeth down to Silla was the scene of the murder of king Joash (2Ki 12:20). Millo seems most probably to have been the citadel of the town. and situated on Mount Zion. Silla must have been in the valley below, overlooked by that part of:the citadel which was used as a residence. The situation of the present so called Pool of Siloam would be appropriate, and the agreement between the two names is tempting (Schwarz, Palest. p. 241); but the likeness exists in the Greek and English versions only, and in the original is too slight to admit of any inference. Gesenius, with less than his usual caution, affirms Silla to be a town in the neighborhood of Jerusalem. Others (as Thenius, in Kurzgef. exeg. Handb. on the passage; Ewald, Gesch. Isr. 3, 70) refer it to a place on or connected with. the causeway or flight of steps () which led from the central valley of the city up to the court of the temple. This latter is confirmed by the etymology (from , to raise an embankment). SEE JERUSALEM.

Silla
SILLA.The servants of king Joash smote him at the house of Millo [read rather at Beth-Millo] on the way that goeth down to Silla (2Ki 12:20). Where or what Silla may have been there is nothing to show. The LXX [Note: Septuagint.] reads Gaalla or Gaallad.

sila (, silla’; Codex Vaticanus , Galla; Codex Alexandrinus , Gaallad): Joash was assassinated by his servants at the house of Millo, on the way that goeth down to Silla (2Ki 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.
