She was the wife of Shallum son of Tokhath (also called Tikvah), son of Harhas (also called Hasrah), keeper of the wardrobe. She lived in Jerusalem, in the Second District or Second Quarter (). The King James Version of the Bible calls this quarter "the college", and the New International Version calls it "the new quarter".
