Huldah:
weasel, a prophetess; the wife of Shallum. She was consulted regarding the "book of the law" discovered by the high priest Hilkiah (2Ki 22:14-20; 2Ch 34:22-28). She resided in that part of Jerusalem called the Mishneh (A.V., "the college; " R.V., "the second quarter"), supposed by some to be the suburb between the inner and the outer wall, the second or lower city, Akra. Miriam (Exd 15:20) and Deborah (Jdg 4:4) are the only others who bear the title of "prophetess," for the word in Isa 8:3 means only the prophet's wife.
The Blue Letter Bible ministry and the BLB Institute hold to the historical, conservative Christian faith, which includes a firm belief in the inerrancy of Scripture. Since the text and audio content provided by BLB represent a range of evangelical traditions, all of the ideas and principles conveyed in the resource materials are not necessarily affirmed, in total, by this ministry.
