Jonah

Facts:

Jonah was a Hebrew prophet in the Old Testament.

The book of Jonah tells the story of what happened when God sent Jonah to preach to the people of Nineveh.
Jonah refused to go to Nineveh and instead got on a ship headed for a Tarshish.
God caused a huge storm to overwhelm that ship.
He told the men sailing the ship that he wasrunning away from God, and he suggested that they throw him into the sea. When they did the storm stopped.
Jonah was swallowed by a huge fish, and he was inside the belly of that fish for three days and nights.
After that, Jonah went to Nineveh and preached to the people there, and they turned from their sins.
