Usage: Silla is used as a place name in the Hebrew Bible. It appears in the context of a historical event involving the assassination of a king.

Context: Silla is mentioned in the context of the assassination of King Joash of Judah. According to 2 Kings 12:20, Joash was killed by his servants at the house of Millo, on the way down to Silla. The passage reads: "His servants conspired against him and killed Joash at Beth Millo, on the road that goes down to Silla." (BSB). The exact location of Silla is not known, and it is not mentioned elsewhere in the Bible.

The lack of additional biblical or archaeological evidence leaves its precise identification open to speculation.
