2 Chronicles 34:20-22
Evangelical Heritage Version
20 The king gave this command to Hilkiah and to Ahikam son of Shaphan, Abdon son of Micah, Shaphan the secretary, and Asaiah servant of the king:[a] 21 “Go and inquire of the Lord for me and for those who remain in Israel and in Judah concerning the words of the book which has been found. For great is the wrath of the Lord that is being poured out on us because our fathers have not kept the word of the Lord by doing everything that is written in this book.”
22 Hilkiah and the men the king sent with him went to Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum, the son of Tokhath, the son of Hasrah,[b] the keeper of the vestments.[c] She was living in Jerusalem in the Second District. They spoke to her concerning this matter.

- 2 Chronicles 34:20 Servant of the king is an official title of a high-ranking advisor.
- 2 Chronicles 34:22 Also called Harhas
- 2 Chronicles 34:22 The Hebrew means keeper of the garments. It does not specify whether these are priestly or royal garments. The parallel in 2 Kings 10:22 supports the former. It is most likely that the words keeper of the garments modify Shallum, but the office may have been hereditary and held by all three men.
