ASLC Devotions-- Tuesday

2 Chronicles 34: 22-23
22 So Hilkiah and those whom the king had sent went to the prophet Huldah, the wife of Shallum son of Tokhath son of Hasrah, keeper of the wardrobe (who lived in Jerusalem in the Second Quarter) and spoke to her to that effect. ²³She declared to them, ‘Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: Tell the man who sent you to me,

There is, of course, a larger story present her that continues after the declaration, "Thus says the Lord..." The prophet Huldah continues that the Lord will send all sorts of calamities upon the people, but because you  have had a penitent heart, you and your people will die in peace and not see the distress brought upon the people. Of course that story is important.

However, because it is also important (I think) to see the occasions when women have a voice in scripture, these words come from the Lord's prophet, Huldah, the wife of Shallum, keeper of the wardrobe.

Preach it, Huldah, preach it.

Peace,
