Amoz was the father of the prophet Isaiah (Isa.1.1; 2.1). He lived during the reigns of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah (Isa.1.1). Isaiah often mentions his father's name when introducing himself or his prophecies (Isa.2.1; 13.1; 20.2). Amoz was also mentioned in connection with the historical records of Uzziah's reign (2Ch.26.22) and Hezekiah's reign (2Ch.32.32). His name appears in the narrative of Hezekiah's illness and recovery, as Isaiah, the son of Amoz, was sent to deliver messages from God to the king (2Ki.19.2,20; 20.1; Isa.37.2,21; 38.1).
