Usage: The name Jonah is primarily associated with the prophet Jonah, son of Amittai, who is the central figure in the Book of Jonah. He is also mentioned in 2 Kings 14:25. Context: Jonah is a significant prophetic figure in the Hebrew Bible, known for his unique narrative in the Book of Jonah. He is identified as the son of Amittai and a prophet from Gath-hepher, a town in the territory of Zebulun. Jonah's story is notable for his initial reluctance to obey God's command to go to Nineveh and prophesy against it due to its wickedness. Instead, Jonah attempts to flee from God's presence by boarding a ship bound for Tarshish. A great storm arises, and Jonah is thrown overboard by the sailors to calm the sea, after which he is swallowed by a great fish. Jonah spends three days and three nights in the belly of the fish before being vomited onto dry land. He then obeys God's command and goes to Nineveh, where his message leads to the city's repentance. The narrative highlights themes of divine mercy, repentance, and the universality of God's concern for all people. Jonah's story is also referenced by Jesus in the New Testament as a sign of His own death and resurrection (Matthew 12:39-41).
