What Does 2 Kings 22:15 Mean?
Huldah responds not with her own opinion but with the messenger formula of the prophets: Thus saith the LORD God of Israel. She directs her words to the man who sent them, the king himself. What follows carries the full weight of divine authority.
A true prophet speaks God's word, not their own. Huldah's confidence rests entirely on the One who sent her message. To hear Thus saith the LORD is to stand before God's own voice, and the humility of the king's men in receiving it shows reverence for the God who still speaks to those who seek Him.
