His name in Hebrew, חִלְקִיָּהוּ (Chilqiyyahu), means "my portion is Yahweh," reflecting a life dedicated to God. As a high priest, Hilkiah's actions are crucial in the rediscovery of the Book of the Law, symbolizing a return to divine truth and covenant faithfulness.and those the king had sent with him This phrase indicates a delegation, emphasizing the importance of the mission. King Josiah, a reformer king, sends trusted officials, showing his commitment to seeking divine guidance. This reflects the biblical principle of seeking wise counsel and the importance of community in discerning God's will.went to Huldah the prophetess Huldah, whose name means "weasel" in Hebrew, is one of the few female prophets mentioned in the Bible. Her role underscores the inclusivity of God's call, transcending gender norms of the time. Huldah's presence in the narrative highlights the importance of prophetic voices in guiding the nation back to covenant faithfulness.the wife of Shallum son of Tokhath, the son of Hasrah This genealogical detail situates Huldah within a specific family lineage, emphasizing the historical and communal context of her prophetic ministry. It also reflects the biblical tradition of identifying individuals through family connections, underscoring the importance of heritage and legacy in biblical narratives.the keeper of the wardrobe This role, likely associated with the temple or royal garments, indicates a position of responsibility and trust. It suggests that Huldah's family was well-integrated into the religious and social fabric of Jerusalem, providing her with a platform for her prophetic ministry.She lived in Jerusalem, in the Second District The mention of the Second District, or Mishneh, situates Huldah geographically within Jerusalem, the spiritual and political heart of Israel. This location underscores the accessibility and centrality of her prophetic voice in the nation's life, symbolizing the availability of God's guidance to those who seek it earnestly.And they spoke to her about this This phrase indicates the delegation's purpose: to seek divine insight regarding the Book of the Law found in the temple. It highlights the biblical principle of seeking God's wisdom through His appointed messengers. The act of consulting Huldah demonstrates humility and a desire for alignment with God's will, serving as an inspirational model for believers to seek divine guidance in times of uncertainty.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/2_chronicles/34.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(22) And they that the king had appointed.--The Hebrew text is defective.
