HULDAH

Nelson's column, Edinburgh

 


Firth of Forth, looking north


After they found the writings of the law
Why did they seek Huldah the prophetess,
Who trenchantly expressed what she foresaw
In consequence of their unrighteousness?

She said Josiah's death would have occurred
Before apart from his heart's tenderness.

A woman close to God thus brought God's word.

  2. Believe it or not, I thought about that verse the other day. Kings sought her wisdom and listened to her, it is almost strange that we don't hear her name a little more often.

    1. It seems to be a feature of God's ways that He uses persons who are not otherwise prominent once. It demonstrates that He has persons in reserve to use at any time of need.
