Isaiah, son of Amoz, wrote of things he saw during the reigns of Kings Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz and Hezekiah. He therefore began his career around 740 BCE and could have continued for more than forty years from that time. Israel fell to the Assyrians in 722 BCE, so it was still nominally independent, although a vassal state, during his early years. In his later years, Israel was no more, with many of its people transferred to other parts of the Assyrian Empire, where they gradually lost their separate ethnic identity and assimilated into the host cultures. This probably occurred around the mid-point of Isaiah's career as a prophet and writer.

The southern kingdom, Judah remained at least nominally independent during the life of Isaiah. However, there were two further, anonymous authors who lived long after the time of Isaiah and contributed to the Book of Isaiah, after Judah fell to the Babylonians and the people were taken into Exile. Because we do not know their real names, these authors are referred to as Second Isaiah (II Isaiah) and Third Isaiah (III Isaiah).

Israel was not in captivity while the prophet Isaiah was alive. Isaiah prophesied during a time when the kingdom of Judah was facing threats of invasion from neighboring powers, including the Assyrian Empire. It was not until after Isaiah's death that Judah was eventually conquered and taken into captivity by the Babylonians in 586 BC.

When was Isaiah in Israel?

In verse 1:1, Isaiah introduces himself as the son of Amoz and says that he is writing about events in Judah and Jerusalem during the reigns of Kings Uzziah (Azariah), Jotham, Ahaz and Hezekiah. Of course, he does not say his witness includes the entire reign of Uzziah, but even the reigns of just Jotham, Ahaz and Hezekiah spanned 55 years and Isaiah was a prophet in Judah for at least 40 of those years, during the late eighth and early seventh centuries BCE.Isaiah, son of Amoz - also known as First Isaiah - should not be confused with an anonymous prophet now known as Second Isaiah, who lived during the latter part of the Babylonian Exile and was the author of Isaiah chapters 40 to 55, or with Third Isaiah, who lived in Judah some time after the Return from Exile.
