Jonah in 2 Kings 14
JOH-nuh
This person shows up in 2 Kings 14:25: “He restored the border of Israel from the entrance of Hamath to the sea of the Arabah, according to Yahweh, the God of Israel’s word,…” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real person in a real place.
2 Kings 14:25
“He restored the border of Israel from the entrance of Hamath to the sea of the Arabah, according to Yahweh, the God of Israel’s word, which he spoke by his servant Jonah the son of Amittai, the prophet, who was from Gath Hepher.”
