Jonah

Definition:

Jonah was a Hebrew prophet in the Old Testament.

The book of Jonah tells the story of 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 different city.
God caused a huge storm to overwhelm that ship.
When the men sailing the ship found out that Jonah was disobeying God, they threw him into the sea and 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.
