(1) Now . . .--More strictly, And; but the English quite adequately represents the Hebrew style of beginning a narrative, whether it formed a book by itself, or merely continued an historical account. (See the opening of Exodus, Leviticus, and other historical books; Ezekiel 1:1; and comp. 1Kings 17:1, &c.) Jonah the son of Amittai.--See Introduction. Verse 1. - Now; or, and. Some have argued from this commencement that the Book of Jonah is a fragment, the continuation of a larger work; but it is a common formulary, linking together revelations and histories, and is continually used in the Old Testament at the beginning of independent works; e.g. Joshua 1:1; Judges 1:1; 1 Samuel 1:1; Esther 1:1; Ezekiel 1:1. Jonah the son of Amittai (2 Kings 14:25). (See Introduction, § II.) 1:1-3. It is sad to think how much sin is committed in great cities. Their wickedness, as that of Nineveh, is a bold and open affront to God. Jonah must go at once to Nineveh, and there, on the spot, cry against the wickedness of it. Jonah would not go.

Providence seemed to give him an opportunity to escape; we may be out of the way of duty, and yet may meet with a favourable gale. The ready way is not always the right way. See what the best of men are, when God leaves them to themselves; and what need we have, when the word of the Lord comes to us, to have the Spirit of the Lord to bring every thought within us into obedience.Jump to Previous Amittai Jonah WordJump to Next Amittai Jonah WordLinks Jonah 1:1 NIVJonah 1:1 NLT Jonah 1:1 ESV Jonah 1:1 NASB Jonah 1:1 KJV Jonah 1:1 Bible Apps Jonah 1:1 Biblia Paralela Jonah 1:1 Chinese Bible Jonah 1:1 French Bible Jonah 1:1 German Bible Alphabetical: Amittai came Jonah LORD of saying son The to word OT Prophets: Jonah 1:1 Now the word of Yahweh came (Jon.
