Both Jewish and Christian traditions state that he was killed by being sawed in half. Some interpreters believe that this is what is referred to by Hebrews 11:37 (in the New Testament), which states that some prophets were "sawn in two". It is also mentioned in the book of The Martyrdom of Isaiah that he lived into the days of Manasseh, and was also sawn in half with a wooden saw.

Tradition has it that they stood him in the hollow of a tree. Then they sawed the tree into with Isaiah standing in the tree.

It is reported that he was sawn apart at Manasseh’s command. (Compare Hebrews 11:37)
