And Hilkiah, and they that the king had appointed, went to Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum the son of Tikvath, the son of Hasrah (note: Or, Harhas), keeper of the wardrobe (note: Heb. garments); (now she dwelt in Jerusalem in the college (note: Or, in the school, or in the second part):) and they spake to her to that effect.
So Hilkiah and those the king had designated went and spoke to Huldah (note: One Hebrew manuscript, Vulgate, and Syriac; most Hebrew manuscripts and those the king had told went to Huldah) the prophetess, the wife of Shallum son of Tokhath (note: Tokhath is a variant of Tikvah; see 2 Kings 22:14.), the son of Hasrah (note: Hasrah is a variant of Harhas; see 2 Kings 22:14.), the keeper of the wardrobe. She lived in Jerusalem, in the Second District (note: Or the Second Quarter, a newer section of Jerusalem; Hebrew the Mishneh).
