The story of Huldah if found in 2 Kings 22; 2 Chronicles 34:22-33. She was one of seven Prophetess’ in the Bible. She she lived in the College in Jerusalem during the reign of King Josiah. Huldah was married to Shallum, the keeper of the royal wardrobe and her nephew was Jeremiah, a young, well-known male prophet at the time. But it was Huldah that King Josiah sent for to interpret the genuineness of the lost book of the law of God found in the palace.

She was a highly intelligent woman who was focused on being faithful to God’s word even though it meant delivering an unpleasant message to the King that others might have feared to give. As a result, her prophetic message resulted in a public reading of the law of God bringing about a spiritual revival of the nation under King Josiah.

Huldah’s story is important in biblical tradition and history as the texts she authenticates become a foundation for core Scripture for Judaism and Christianity.

Huldah was a politically connected scholar who was successful in a nontraditional position and had the trust of the King of the nation. She was a highly educated scholar, industrious, a mentor, life-long learner, ethical, truthful, and fearless.
