Huldah (hulda). [Heb. Chuldah, "mole."] A prophetess of renown who lived in the 2nd section of Jerusalem during the reign of Josiah. She was the wife of Shallum, keeper of the priestly or the royal wardrobe. Her advice was sought by King Josiah after the Book of the Law was found in the Temple. She told the king that Jerusalem would be destroyed, but that because of his pious life this would not occur during his lifetime (2 Ki 22:14-20; 2 Chr 34:22-28) -- Seventh-day Adventist Bible Dictionary.
