Jonah

Prophet who fled by ship to avoid God's call to preach to the city of Nineveh. A great storm arose and the sailors cast lots, identifying Jonah as the cause. He was thrown overboard and swallowed by a great fish, inside which he prayed for three days. He was vomited onto dry land, went to Nineveh, and the entire city repented. Jesus cited Jonah's three days in the fish as a sign of his own death and resurrection.
