There are two rabinnic traditions, both of which describe how he was killed; in both cases he was ordered sawn in two by King (of Judah) Manesseh while in a cedar tree. This act is also indirectly referenced in the New Testament in Hebrews 11:27. But the bigger question, "Why?" requires a study from the Chronicles and from Isaiah's writings. Chronicles records that Manesseh tried to appease and worship the God of Israel, as well as the Canannite gods. He attended all of the Jewish sacrifices and worship, but also allowed some of his infant sons to be sacriced to the Cananite god Molech. Manesseh was a consumate politician, who led the small nation of Judah and walked a political tightrope between Assyria, Syria and Babylon for 55 years. Manesseh's actions were repeatedly condemned by God through the prophet Isaiah. Isaiah's writings are filled with strong words against Manesseh, the ruling classes and even the priesthood. Manesseh most likely ordered a public execution of Isaiah in order to silence him.

There is explanation by the Master Yahusha ("Lord Jesus") at John 3:19-21, that those who do evil shun the Light because they want their deeds hidden, but Isaiah warned him against his double-mindedness, and he was furious, so that he had Isaiah sawn in two. For his wickedness, Yahuah (KJV: "the LORD") saw to his imprisonment by the king of Assyria.
HalleluYAH that while he was imprisoned in Assyria, he repented wholeheartedly and came to the Light, the Master Yahusha, always our intercessor from the beginning (John 1:1-18; Hebrews 1:1-3), and Yahuah gave him favor to return to the throne, and he finished up his reign in righteousness (2nd Chronicles 33:12-20), which was an example that his grandson Josiah followed and added righteousness to it, though his son Amon did not.

Why was the prophet Isaiah killed?
Nobody did! In fact, the person that got crucified was NOT Jesus, it was a soldier who god changed his face to make him look like Jesus. What happened to Jesus? Well, let's just say that he is "living in the skies".
Who was the prophet who got sawed in half in the Old Testament?
According to Jewish tradition, King Manasseh had Isaiah 'sawn asunder', though the Scriptures do not specifically name him.(Hebrews 11:37-38)
At what age did the prophet Isaiah died?
Tradition has it that Isaiah was murdered by being sawn in two by Manasseh when he was an old man after having lived through the reigns of 4 kings from 739-686BC but dates of his birth and death are unknown [From John MacArthur's Notes on Isaiah in his Study Bible].
Is the prophet Isaiah's death in the Bible?
Not directly and maybe not at all. There is a tradition that states that Isaiah was executed by the wicked King Manasseh by sawing him in half (Manasseh was not a very nice man). We may note in this regard that Isaiah's prophecy ceases with Hezekiah and Manasseh succeeded him. (Isaiah 1:1 contains the list of Kings of Judah under which Isaiah prophesied) We also know that Manasseh 'shed innocent blood very much.' Most certainly this refers to the passing of living children into the outstretched arms of the idol Moloch. But it may also refer to the execution of people like Isaiah who was obviously innocent. If the tradition is accurate - and it is certainly possible from what we know of Manasseh plus the historical time-frame - then Hebrews 11:37 '....they were sawn asunder..' is a reference to this murderous crime. If Hebrews 11:37 is not a reference to Isaiah then it is not mentioned. In any case the Bible itself does not, without recourse to tradition, mention it.

Its not in the bible. The account has been taken from ancient texts such as the Talmud. The only account that can be referenced to the sawing in half is in Hebrews 11:37.

What number king was king manasseh?
If I counted correctly, King Manasseh would have been the 13th king of Judah. His father was Hezekiah, one of Judah's righteous kings. When King Hezekiah became sick to death, he was told he would die soon, but Hezekiah prayed fervently to be able to live and God promised him another 15 years. Three years later, Manasseh was born. When Manasseh was twelve years old, his father, Hezekiah, died and Manasseh became king. He was the most wicked of all the kings of either Judah OR Israel (which, today, we usually refer to as the "northern kingdom"; it's the portion that separated itself, preferring idol worship, after the death of King Solomon. II Kings 21:16, says Judah would be made desolate because King Manasseh had made the streets of Jerusalem to run red with the blood of innocent people. This included some of God's prophets as well. Jewish tradition says that after Isaiah, the prophet, told Manasseh to repent, he was taken outside and beheaded.
