Satan] Care must be taken not to sound this word as if spelt Sa-tn. Sen-na-che'-rib] The Greek is Eɛvvaxnpìß; this accentuation therefore, is agreeable to one of Walker's rules relative to admitting the authority of the Septuagint. The word however is still commonly pronounced Sen-nach'-e-rib; and it may be justly doubted, whether this be not one of those instances in which general usage should be allowed to prevail.] Sil'-o-am] Walker admits that "this word according to the present general rule ought to have the accent on the second syllable, as it is Græcised by Ziwap." But he thinks that what in his time was general usage, supported by Milton's authority, in a single instance, ought to prevail. The usage of the present day certainly inclines in this instance to the general rule.] Tro-jil-e-um] Agreeably to Walker's Rule ix. g is soft before y, in the pronunciation of Greek and Latin proper names.
