2 Kings 22:14-16
Evangelical Heritage Version
14 Then Hilkiah the priest, with Ahikam, Akbor, Shaphan, and Asaiah, went and spoke to Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum, who was the son of Tikvah, who was the son of Harhas,[a] the keeper of the vestments.[b] She was living in Jerusalem in the Second District.
15 She gave them this message:
This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says. Tell the man who sent you to me that 16 this is what the Lord says.
Look! I am bringing disaster on this place and on its inhabitants, everything written in the book which they read before the king of Judah,
Footnotes
- 2 Kings 22:14 Also called Hasrah in 2 Chronicles 34:22.
- 2 Kings 22:14 The Hebrew reads keeper of the garments. It is not specified if these are priestly or royal garments. The former is supported by 2 Kings 10:22. It is most likely that the words keeper of the vestments modify Shallum, but the office may have been hereditary and held by all three men.
