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.
