John Gill's commentary highlights the authority behind Huldah's words. When she refers to King Josiah as "the man that sent you," it may sound disrespectful. However, as a prophetess, she is speaking on behalf of "the Lord God of Israel." Gill explains that in this role, she represents the King of kings, whose authority is supreme over any earthly ruler. Her direct language emphasizes that God's message is not filtered or softened, even for a king.
