Amoz is identified in the Ascension of Isaiah as the father of the prophet Isaiah. The text repeatedly names Isaiah as the son of Amoz in accounts of his prophetic activity and fate.

Isaiah the son of Amoz withdrew from Jerusalem to Bethlehem of Judah after seeing lawlessness there. In the twentieth year of Hezekiah king of Judah he came with Josab the son of Isaiah to Hezekiah in Jerusalem. Isaiah the son of Amoz was later seized and sawn asunder with a wooden saw.
