Strong, the father of the prophet Isaiah (2 Kings 19:2, 20; 20:1; Isa. 1:1; 2:1). As to his personal history little is positively known. He is supposed by some to have been the “man of God” spoken of in 2 Chr. 25:7, 8.
Amoz
Amoz appears only as a father. Isaiah is called “the son of Amoz” at the very start of his book, in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz and Hezekiah, and again whenever a message comes through him: when he sends word to Hezekiah about the Assyrians in 2 Kings 19, and when he tells the sick king to set his house in order in 2 Kings 20:1. Nothing else is said of Amoz himself. He is remembered only through his son, one of the longest-speaking voices in the prophets. Isaiah 1:1 is the plainest place to meet the name.
