Chapter 3

God tells Jonah again.  To make sure there is no doubt?  To see if Jonah will obey this command.  This time Jonah does, and that whole city - three days just to cross from one side to the other - repents.  What a revival!  They all believe what Jonah says, and they pray that the sentence pronounced on them will be repealed.  Even the King declares a fast, saying that not even animals can eat.  And God relents.  He does not send the intended disaster.
