Mil'lo. (a rampart, mound). A place in ancient Jerusalem. Both name and place seem to have been already in existence when the city was taken, from the Jebusites by David. 2 Samuel 5:9; 1 Chronicles 11:8. Its repair or restoration was one of the great works, for which Solomon raised his "levy," 1 Kings 9:15; 1 Kings 9:24; 1 Kings 11:27, and it formed a prominent part, of the fortifications by which Hezekiah prepared, for the approach of the Assyrians. 2 Chronicles 32:5. The last passage seems to show that "the Milo" was part of the "city of David," that is, of Zion. Compare 2 Kings 12:20.
