Jonah 1:3
_ _ flee — Jonah’s motive for flight is hinted at in Jonah 4:2 : fear that after venturing on such a dangerous commission to so powerful a heathen city, his prophetical threats should be set aside by God’s “repenting of the evil,” just as God had so long spared Israel notwithstanding so many provocations, and so he should seem a false prophet. Besides, he may have felt it beneath him to discharge a commission to a foreign idolatrous nation, whose destruction he desired rather than their repentance. This is the only case of a prophet, charged with a prophetical message, concealing it.
_ _ from the presence of the Lord — (Compare Genesis 4:16). Jonah thought in fleeing from the land of Israel, where Jehovah was peculiarly present, that he should escape from Jehovah’s prophecy-inspiring influence. He probably knew the truth stated in Psalms 139:7-10, but virtually ignored it (compare Genesis 3:8-10; Jeremiah 23:24).
_ _ went down — appropriate in going from land to the sea (Psalms 107:23).
_ _ Joppa — now Jaffa, in the region of Dan; a harbor as early as Solomon’s time (2 Chronicles 2:16).
_ _ Tarshish — Tartessus in Spain; in the farthest west at the greatest distance from Nineveh in the east. |
Jonah 1:3
From the presence — From the place where God usually had shewed himself present, by revealing his word and will to his prophets. Perhaps he might think God would not put him upon this work, when he was got into a strange country. |
Jonah 1:3
But Jonah rose up to (d) flee unto Tarshish from the presence of the LORD, and went down to (e) Joppa; and he found a ship going to Tarshish: so he paid the fare thereof, and went down into it, to go with them unto Tarshish from the (f) presence of the LORD.
(d) By which he declares his weakness, that would not promptly follow the Lord's calling, but gave place to his own reason, which persuaded him that he would not profit these people at all, seeing he had done such little good among his own people; (Jonah 4:2).
(e) Which was the haven, and port to take shipping there, also called Joppa.
(f) From that vocation to which God had called him, and in which he would have assisted him. |
- to flee:
Jonah 4:2 And he prayed unto the LORD, and said, I pray thee, O LORD, [was] not this my saying, when I was yet in my country? Therefore I fled before unto Tarshish: for I knew that thou [art] a gracious God, and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repentest thee of the evil.
Exodus 4:13-14 And he said, O my Lord, send, I pray thee, by the hand [of him whom] thou wilt send. ...

And also, behold, he cometh forth to meet thee: and when he seeth thee, he will be glad in his heart.

But [his word] was in mine heart as a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I was weary with forbearing, and I could not [stay].
Ezekiel 3:14 So the spirit lifted me up, and took me away, and I went in bitterness, in the heat of my spirit; but the hand of the LORD was strong upon me.

- Tarshish:
- As Jonah embarked at Joppa, a seaport on the Mediterranean, it was probably either Tarsus in Cilicia, or rather Tartessus in Spain, to which he intended to flee. When we reflect how such a message would be received in the streets of London at this day, we shall not wonder at the prophet's reluctance to announce the destruction of the proud and idolatrous Nineveh.
