There are two people named Amos in The Bible.

First, the prophet Amos, who was born in Tekoa(ten miles south of Jerusalem). The Bible tells us that he was a sheep raiser and 'nipper of figs', and that he was NOT the 'son of a prophet', but that's all it says of his early life.(Amos 7:14)(Amos 1:1) His father is not mentioned.

The other Amos is one of Jesus' ancestors (Luke 3:25). His father was Mattathias, but there is no further information on him.
