The Definition of the word Huldah

Huldah

Weasel, a prophetess; the wife of Shallum. She was consulted "regarding the "book of the law" discovered by the high priest" Hilkiah (2 Kings 22:14-20; 2 Chr. 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 (Ex. 15:20) and Deborah (Judg. 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.
