![]() Adjectives אמלל ( 'amelal) and אמלל ( 'umlal) both mean feeble. This verb may also emphasize the languishing and withering of whatever was cut off, in which case it has a more common by-form, namely אמל ( 'amal). Noun מלילה ( melila) describes an ear of wheat. Noun מלה ( milla') describes an uttering. Verb מלל ( malal) may be used to mean to utter or say (and the speaking of the mouth equals the overflowing of the heart). Various derivative forms emphasize the various stages: the severing of something from its natural origin, or its subsequent storage in dedicated facilities, or the redistribution or overflowing from those facilities. The root מלל ( malal) relates to the cycle of harvest, storage and redistribution. It therefore appears that not solely Solomon's many wives and their idols led to the undoing of the united kingdom but also Solomon's work on the mysterious millo. Jeroboam was chief of the forced labor coming from Ephraim and Manasseh (the house of Joseph 1 Kings 11:28, but see 11:22), and although Jeroboam was vexed, it was YHWH himself who gave him the northern kingdom (1 Kings 11:31). Why the construction work on the millo was so vexing to Jeroboam that he tore the united kingdom apart, and subsequently ended Israel's golden age may not be immediately clear. King Joash of Judah was killed in or near his house in millo ( בית מלא, no definite article 2 Kings 12:20, see 2 Chronicles 24:25), and after the Assyrian invasion, king Hezekiah bravely repaired the wall of Jerusalem and the millo in the city of David (2 Chronicles 32:5). In 1 Kings 11:27 we learn that Jeroboam, son of Nebat, began the rebellion that resulted in the breach between Judah and the northern kingdom of Israel because Solomon was building the millo. Still, Solomon's construction work pertaining to the millo is of crucial importance in the story of Israel. Perhaps he fortified the millo that David built, perhaps he built a whole other millo, and perhaps the millo of Solomon was applied back to the story of David as a reference. But when Solomon began his building project that included the temple and the royal palaces, he was also said to have built the millo (1 Kings 9:15, 9:24). When David captured the stronghold and associated village of Zion from the Jebusites and moved in, he expanded into the city of Jerusalem, building from the millo onward (2 Samuel 5:9, 1 Chronicles 11:8). The first Millo we hear of appears to be either a man-made construction or a natural rock formation on the slopes of Mount Zion: Another reason why the article precedes this word may be to indicate that the millo was executing the action represented by the verb the word millo came from: the thing that does millo. The article is used in Hebrew to distinguish one thing from the thing we're talking about, but the Millo we'll discuss below appears to have been unique. It's consistently preceded by the definite article - המלוא, meaning the Millo - which suggests that millo is not a name but a regular word. And it's not even sure that Millo is an actual name. Milo is also a popular choice for fictional characters, appearing in Catch-22, The Adventures of Milo and Otis, Phantom Tollbooth, The Mask, and The Land Before Time.There are one or two Millos in the Bible, not counting the Beth-millo mentioned in Judges 9:6. ![]() Other notable namesakes include actor Milo Anthony Ventimiglia and singer Milo Jay Aukerman. In recent years, it has been a popular choice for celebrity parents, having been chosen by Ricki Lake, Camryn Manheim, Sherry Stringfield, Liv Tyler, Craig Ferguson, and Alyssa Milano.
