Nehemiah 6:14

SCRIPTURE

"Remember, O my God, Tobiah and Sanballat according to these their works, and also the prophetess Noadiah, and the rest of the prophets, that would have put me in fear." — Nehemiah 6:14 (ASV)

Noadiah is not elsewhere mentioned. The examples of Miriam, Deborah, Huldah, and Anna show that the prophetical gift was occasionally bestowed upon women (2 Kings 22:14, note).
