How many people are named Isaiah in the Bible?

Answer 1

The only Isaiah actually mentioned by name in The Bible is Isaiah, son of Amoz, who lived during the reigns of Kings Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz and Hezekiah. However, the Book of Isaiah is considered to have had three principal authors. The first of these is Isaiah, son of Amoz, who began the book and is sometimes called First Isaiah for clarity. The book was continued much later, during the Babylonian Exile, by an anonymous author now referred to as Second Isaiah, then completed after the Return from Exile by another anonymous author now referred to as Third Isaiah.
