huldah - Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary :

  Huldah
  weasel, a prophetess; the wife of Shallum. She was consulted
  regarding the "book of the law" discovered by the high priest
  Hilkiah (2 Kings 22:14-20; 2 Chr. 34:22-28). She resided in that
  part of Jerusalem called the Mishneh (A.V., "the college;" R.V.,
  "the second quarter"), supposed by some to be the suburb between
  the inner and the outer wall, the second or lower city, Akra.
  Miriam (Ex. 15:20) and Deborah (Judg. 4:4) are the only others
  who bear the title of "prophetess," for the word in Isa. 8:3
  means only the prophet's wife.
