Silla Sela

Archimandrite Nikifor’s Biblical Encyclopedia

(road; highway) (2 Kings 12:20)—a place in or near Jerusalem whose exact position was unknown to the source. Fürst understood it as the great road running from the Jaffa Gate toward the Temple area, perhaps the “causeway” mentioned in 1 Chronicles 26:16. Joash king of Judah was killed by conspirators at the house of Millo, on the way down to Silla.
