Huldah
From BibleWiki
Meaning: weasel
A prophetess; the wife of Shallum. She was consulted regarding the "book of the law" discovered by the high priest Hilkiah (2Kg 22:14ff; 2Chr 34:22ff). She resided in that part of Jerusalem called the Mishneh (A.V., "the college;" R.V., "the second quarter"), supposed by some to be the suburb between the inner and the outer wall, the second or lower city, Akra.
Miriam (Ex 15:20) and Deborah (Jdg 4:4) are the only others who bear the title of "prophetess," for the word in Isa 8:3 means only the prophet's wife.
