Charles Ellicott Commentary 2 Chronicles 34:22

"So Hilkiah, and they whom the king [had commanded], went to Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum the son of Tokhath, the son of Hasrah, keeper of the wardrobe; (now she dwelt in Jerusalem in the second quarter;) and they spake to her to that effect." — 2 Chronicles 34:22 (ASV)

And those whom the king had appointed. —The Hebrew text is defective. We may restore it from the Septuagint, “and they whom the king had commanded”; or better, perhaps, from the Syriac and Vulgate, “and all they whom the king sent.” Three manuscripts read, “and the king’s princes,” a plausible correction. 2 Kings 22:14 adds the names (2 Chronicles 34:20, mentioned above).

Son of Tikvath. —Hebrew, Tûkahath. Kings, “Tikvah.” The Septuagint, Θεκωε; the Syriac, Tekwa; and the Vulgate, Thecuath, show that Tikvah or Tikvath is right. (The final h and th of Chronicles arise from blending these two equivalent spellings.)

Son of Hasrah. —Kings, son of Harhas. So the Septuagint, Apày; but the Syriac (Hasdâ) and Vulgate support Hasrah.

In the college. — In the second quarter, i.e., the lower city.

To that effect. — 2 Chronicles 32:15 (on this manner). Added by the chronicler. The differences in the text of the oracle which follows are mostly due to alteration of the original, which is more exactly given in Kings.
