Huldah (Prophetess living at the time of Divided Monarchy)

Huldah was a prophetess in Jerusalem during King Josiah's reign, and when workers repairing the temple discovered a forgotten scroll of the law, Josiah sent his officials directly to Huldah rather than to any of the male prophets active at the time, and she confirmed the scroll's authority and predicted the coming judgment on Judah, though not within Josiah's own lifetime.
