Huldah
A prophetess consulted by King Josiah to interpret the newly discovered Book of the Law.
Huldah was a prophetess in Jerusalem during the reign of King Josiah. When the Book of the Law was found in the temple, the king sent his officials to her to inquire of the Lord. She confirmed the authenticity of the scroll and prophesied both coming judgment on Judah and mercy for Josiah due to his humble heart.
