The prophets in bold are the "literary prophets", meaning those prophets who wrote inspired Bible books. * = the four "major prophets"; the others in bold are the 12 "minor prophets." They are "minor" because their books are shorter, not less important. There were also 2 women prophets in Judah during this period: Huldah, the wife of the keeper of the royal wardrobe during the reign of King Josiah (2 Kng 22:14), and Isaiah's wife, during the reigns of kings Ahaz and Hezekiah, is called a prophetess (Is 8:3).
