JONAS prophesied in the reign of JEREBOAM the second: as we learn from 4
Kings 14.25. To whom also he foretold his success in restoring all the
borders of Israel. He was of GETH OPHER in the tribe of ZABULON, and
consequently of GALILEE: which confutes that assertion of the Pharisees,
John 7.52, that no prophet ever rose out of GALILEE. He prophesied and
prefigured in his own person the death and resurrection of CHRIST: and
was the only one among the prophets that was sent to preach to the
Gentiles.
