- defence. Heb. shadow.
  {Tzillam,} a metaphor highly expressive of protection and
  support in the sultry eastern countries.  (See the Parallel
  Passages.)  The Arabs and Persians use the same word to
  express the same thing; using the expressions, "May the shadow
  {zulli} of thy prosperity be extended."  "May the shadow of
  thy prosperity be spread over the heads of thy well-wishers."
  And in an elegant distich, "May your protection never be
  removed from my head; may God extend your shadow {zullikem}
  eternally."  The loftiest and most esteemed title of the
  sultan, says Thornton, because given him by the kings of
  Persia, is {zil ullah,} shadow of God.
