A prophetess in Jerusalem during the reign of King Josiah, wife of Shallum the keeper of the royal wardrobe. When the high priest Hilkiah discovered the Book of the Law during Temple renovations, King Josiah sent a delegation to Huldah to authenticate the scroll and inquire of the Lord. She confirmed the scroll's authority and prophesied that the covenant curses written in it would indeed fall upon Judah for its persistent idolatry, but that Josiah himself would be spared from seeing the disaster because of his tender and repentant heart. Her authentication of Scripture triggered one of the greatest spiritual revivals in Israel's history.
