Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning "to glide swiftly."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for Chuldah, as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew Bible and does not have a direct Greek equivalent in the Septuagint or New Testament. Usage: Chuldah is used as a proper name for a specific individual, a prophetess, mentioned in the Old Testament. Context: Chuldah is recognized as a prophetess during the reign of King Josiah of Judah. She is one of the few women in the Hebrew Bible who is explicitly identified as a prophetess. Her story is recounted in two parallel passages: 2 Kings 22:14-20 and 2 Chronicles 34:22-28. In these accounts, King Josiah sends a delegation to consult her after the discovery of the Book of the Law in the Temple. Chuldah delivers a message from God, confirming the impending judgment on Jerusalem due to the people's disobedience, but also assuring Josiah that he will not witness the disaster because of his humility and repentance. Her role underscores the significant influence and authority she held as a spiritual leader and advisor in her time.
