Hananiah

Hosea
Was a prophet of the common people, a defender of the poor, the downtrodden, and the exploited.
Micah
Was a younger contemporary of Amos and Hosea and was closely associated with Isaiah.
Micah
Name is the same as the message of his book, meaning “Salvation is of the Lord.”
Isaiah
He was of distinguished lineage and education. Jewish tradition says that he was a nephew of King Amaziah and cousin of King Uzziah. He was thus of royal seed and was a preacher at the royal court.
Isaiah
Married to a prophetess and had two sons.
Isaiah
Like Ezekiel, he acted out his message in unusual ways. God commanded him to walk barefooted and naked for 3 years to picture how Assyria would conquer Egypt and Ethiopia-thus removing all hope that Judah could trust in foreign alliances and moving them to trust in God alone for safety.
Isaiah
The Jewish Talmud says that he was martyred by being sawn asunder by evil King Manasseh.
Isaiah
Was a younger contemporary of the prophets Amos and Hosea in the Northern Kingdom and ministered alongside Micah in the Southern Kingdom.
Isaiah
He was the great-great grandson of King Hezekiah and therefore, of royal blood. He was, like Isaiah, a prophet of the royal court.
Zephaniah
He was the final prophet called to the Southern Kingdom before its fall to Babylon. He was not only a prophet, but also a Levitical chorister in the Temple Choir.
