Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Jonah 1:5

_ _ mariners were afraid — though used to storms; the danger therefore must have been extreme.

_ _ cried every man unto his god — The idols proved unable to save them, though each, according to Phoenician custom, called on his tutelary god. But Jehovah proved able: and the heathen sailors owned it in the end by sacrificing to Him (Jonah 1:16).

_ _ into the sides — that is, the interior recesses (compare 1 Samuel 24:3; Isaiah 14:13, Isaiah 14:15). Those conscious of guilt shrink from the presence of their fellow man into concealment.

_ _ fast asleep — Sleep is no necessary proof of innocence; it may be the fruit of carnal security and a seared conscience. How different was Jesus’ sleep on the Sea of Galilee! (Mark 4:37-39). Guilty Jonah’s indifference to fear contrasts with the unoffending mariners’ alarm. The original therefore is in the nominative absolute: “But as for Jonah, he,” etc. Compare spiritually, Ephesians 5:14.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Jonah 1:4-10.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Jonah 1:5

Into the sides — ln some cabin or other, whither he went before the storm arose.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Then the mariners were afraid, and cried every man unto his god, and cast forth the wares that [were] in the ship into the sea, to lighten [it] of them. But Jonah was gone down (g) into the sides of the ship; and he lay, and was fast asleep.

(g) As one that would have cast off this care and concern by seeking rest and quietness.
