   “Huldah - The king's earnest affection required great haste; and she was in Jerusalem, which is therefore noted in the following part of the verse, when Jeremiah might at this time be at Anathoth, or in some more remote part of the kingdom; and the like may be said of Zephaniah, who also might not be a prophet at this time, though he was afterward, in the days of Josiah.

   “We need not wonder that Huldah, the prophet and wife of Shallum, was consulted by Josiah, king of Judah, when the captivity was approaching and the wrath of the Lord was falling on Jerusalem: since it is the rule of Scripture, when holy men fail, to praise women to the reproach of men.

   ›Commentary on 2 Chronicles 34:22–281 voice

   “It is written in the book of Days: "Hezekiah fell because his heart was lifted up." Certainly, no one but the ungodly will deny that Hezekiah was a just man. You may say, "He sinned in certain things, and, therefore, he ceased to be just." But Scripture does not say this. For he did not lose the title of just because he committed small sins, but he possessed the title of just because he performed many good deeds.
