About Amoz Written by AI

Amoz was the father of the prophet Isaiah (Isaiah 1:1). He lived during the reigns of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah (Isaiah 1:1). Isaiah often mentions his father's name when introducing himself or his prophecies (Isaiah 2:1). Amoz was also mentioned in connection with the historical records of Uzziah's reign (2 Chronicles 26:22) and Hezekiah's reign (2 Chronicles 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 (2 Kings 19:2; Isaiah 37:2).
