Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Jonah 2:1-10

Chapter 2Then Jonah prayed unto the LORD his God out of the fish's belly ( Jonah 2:1 ),Jonah must have been a stubborn man indeed that he would wait three days and three nights before he would begin to pray. He was determined not to take the gospel to the Gentiles. He was determined not to go, sitting it out for three days and three nights.Now he describes the conditions that he was in.And he said, I cried by reason of my affliction unto the LORD, and he heard me; out of the belly of hell cried... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Jonah 2:1-10

Jonah 2:4 . Then I said, I am cast out of thy sight. After what we have heard of the misguided and offending conduct of Jonah, we need not wonder to find him sinking into deep dejection and distress. He is now in the stomach of the fish, at the bottom of the mountains, crying to the Lord, while his reflections upon his past conduct are filling him with the bitterest anguish. He was an Israelite, but now cast away, and fearing it will be his lot to die among the heathen, where no eye will... read more

The Biblical Illustrator - Jonah 2:1-9

John 2:1-9And Jonah prayed unto the Lord his God, out of the fish’s belly.The return to GodThe object in setting forth the history of Jonah is to show the nature of his sin, the truth of his penitence, and the way in which he was restored to God’s favour. Turn thought to the change which was worked in Jonah’s soul. Bear in mind what was the nature of his sin It was not that he was separated from God, but that he had abandoned his duty, had shrunk from his mission, had thought more of his own... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Jonah 2:1

Jon 2:1 Then Jonah prayed unto the LORD his God out of the fish’s belly, Ver. 1. Then Jonah prayed unto the Lord his God ] i.e. Praised God with this Canticum eucharisticum, this gratulatory song, as Tremellius calleth it. That he prayed in the ship, in the sea, in the whale’s belly, we doubt not; but that he chiefly intendeth to show his thankfulness for the return of prayers and the sweet support he felt in the whale’s belly we do as little doubt, see John 2:2 ; John 2:6-7 ; yea, that this... read more

Daniel Whedon

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Jonah 2:1

1. Prayed The verb is used here in the wider sense of any turning of the heart toward God, whether in supplication or praise (1 Samuel 2:1). At what period of his imprisonment Jonah is thought to have offered the prayer is not stated; Jonah 2:10, would seem to imply, however, that it was toward the close. His God Before (Jonah 1:3), he tried to escape from Jehovah’s presence; now, in danger of his life, he is driven to appeal to him as his God. read more

Daniel Whedon

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Jonah 2:1-9

THE PRAYER OF JONAH, Jonah 2:1-9. Jonah 2:1 is the introduction, indicating the circumstances under which the prayer was offered. The prayer itself opens with an acknowledgment that Jehovah heard the petition offered in distress and wrought the petitioner’s deliverance (2). After repeated figurative descriptions of the danger and distress into which he had been plunged, he glorifies Jehovah for the salvation wrought (3-6). The supplicant closes with the assurance that he will not forget the... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Jonah 2:1-10

JONAH’S WONDERFUL DELIVERANCE, Jonah 1:17 to Jonah 2:10 (in Hebrew, Jonah 2:1-10). The deliverance of Jonah is recorded in Jonah 1:17; Jonah 2:10. Jehovah prepared a great fish, which swallowed Jonah. After he had been in the fish’s belly for three days and three nights he was, at the divine command, cast upon the dry land. Jonah 2:1-9, contains a poem, a prayer which Jonah is said to have offered from the belly of the fish. If so, one would expect it to be a petition; in reality it is a hymn... read more
