Unsung Sisters of Action: Huldah Hebrew: חֻלְדָּה The prophetess

2 Kings 22:14

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.

Facts:
Husband: Shallum son of Tikvah, son of Hashas
Tribe:unknown
Name origin: Weasel
Characteristics: Intelligent, Swift, Integrity, Poised, Alert, Graceful, 

Action:
Huldah the prophetess dwelt at the college in Jerusalem which is called in our native language Mishneh, or the second gate.  Like her predecessor Deborah, Huldah’s counsel was sought in the matter of the book of the law when a long lost scroll was stumbled upon by Hilkiah the High priest. 

The King of Judah at this time was Josiah and Hilkiah thought it pertinent for the king to receive the parchment concerning the people Israel and what would become of them. After hearing the writings of the document King Josiah rent his clothing and so sent Hilkiah the priest, Ahikam, Achbor, Shaphan, and Asahiah, to Huldah to enquire of YWHW for the people and all Judah.

Without hesitation Huldah ready to answer spoke the words of Yah declaring the evil that the Most High was going to bring upon the inhabitants because they forsook HIM, burned incense to other gods, and provoke him to anger with all the works of their hands.  She was unafraid in delivering the oracles from the father almost as if she and the Father conversed before the messengers arrived. Even in the sincerity of truth she spoke of the Lord’s mercy towards the man Josiah king of Judah because his heart was tender, and humbled when he heard the words of the Lord.

Huldah’s name has a peculiar meaning which is weasel. Why, you may ask???
Contrary to popular belief the weasel is portrayed in a negative light, but its traits are far from anything detrimental! I’ve researched the attributes of the weasel and Huldah fits them perfectly! In relation to human traits this animal has the skill and talent to escape tricky scenarios, ability to see far beyond ordinary beings, powerful intelligence, and in ancient times it was believed the weasel had seven hearts which is considered to have a perfect soul full of integrity. Silent and graceful, weasels go unseen and unheard about their territories quietly observing what is happening and then discern what is important and what’s not.
