“So Hilkiah the priest, and Ahikam, and Achbor, and Shaphan, and Asahiah, went unto Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum the son of Tikvah, the son of Harhas, keeper of the wardrobe; (now she dwelt in Jerusalem in the college;) and they communed with her.”
2 Kings 22:14 KJV
Hilkiah the priest, Ahikam, Acbor, Shaphan, and Asaiah went straight to Huldah the prophetess. She was the wife of Shallum son of Tikvah, the son of Harhas, who was in charge of the palace wardrobe. She lived in Jerusalem in the Second Quarter. It’s amazing that when Judah had become decadent and idolatrous, there was still a prophet in Jerusalem and that too a prophetess! Someone to whom the high priest and senior priests, scribes and royal attendants, went to enquire what YHWH was saying. The word of prophecy was given and it came to pass thereafter. The Word of God when it is spoken through prophets never returns unfulfilled but performs God’s purpose and fulfills the mission it was sent out to accomplish. In the Church today, of which Christ is the Head, there are prophets and prophetesses who still speak from God what they hear, to build the Kingdom of God on earth today. Amen!
