Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

See commentary on 2 Kings 22:12-15.


2 Kings 22:14

_ _ Achbor — or Abdon (2 Chronicles 34:20), a man of influence at court (Jeremiah 26:22). The occasion was urgent, and therefore they were sent — not to Zephaniah (Zephaniah 1:1), who was perhaps young — nor to Jeremiah, who was probably absent at his house in Anathoth, but to one who was at hand and known for her prophetic gifts — to Huldah, who was probably at this time a widow. Her husband Shallum was grandson of one Harhas, “keeper of the wardrobe.” If this means the priestly wardrobe, [Harhas] must have been a Levite. But it probably refers to the royal wardrobe.

_ _ she dwelt ... in the college — rather, “in the Misnah,” taking the original word as a proper name, not a school or college, but a particular suburb of Jerusalem. She was held in such veneration that Jewish writers say she and Jehoiada the priest were the only persons not of the house of David (2 Chronicles 24:15, 2 Chronicles 24:16) who were ever buried in Jerusalem.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on 2 Kings 22:11-20.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

2 Kings 22:14

Huldah — The king's earnest affection required great haste; and she was in Jerusalem, which is therefore noted in the following part of the verse, when Jeremiah might at this time be at Anathoth, or in some more remote part of the kingdom; and the like may be said of Zephaniah, who also might not be a prophet at this time, though he was afterward, in the days of Josiah. College — Where the sons of the prophets, or others, who devoted themselves to the study of God's word, used to meet and discourse of the things of God, and receive the instructions of their teachers.
