Huldah the Prophetess
2 Kings 22:14
Excerpt
The fact that the king’s five officers (cf. v. 2 Ki 22:12) sought out the Prophetess Huldah suggests that she was highly regarded for her prophetic gift. Other prophets also lived in and around Jerusalem at this time including Jeremiah (Jer. 1:2), and Zephaniah (Zeph. 1:1), and perhaps Nahum and Habakkuk. But the five consulted Huldah for reasons unexplained. This woman was the wife of Shallum who was responsible for the royal or priestly wardrobe. She lived in . . . the Second District of Jerusalem which was the part of the city lower in elevation than the rest. More
