JONA - J>@ - (a dove) (Greek form of Jonah), the father of the apostle Peter, kjv@John:1:42) who is hence addressed as Simon Barjona (i.e. son of Jona) in kjv@Matthew:16:17)

JONADAB - J>@ - (whom Jehovah impels). Son of Shimeah and nephew of David. (B.C. 1033.) He is described as "very subtle." (2 Samuel 13:3) His age naturally made him the friend of his cousin Amnon, heir to the throne. (2 Samuel 13:3) He gave him the fatal advice for ensnaring his sister Tamar. ch (2 Samuel 13:5-6) Again, when, in a later stage of the same tragedy, Amnon was murdered by Absalom, and the exaggerated report reached David that all the princes were slaughtered, Jonadab was already aware of the real state of the case. (2 Samuel 13:32-33) kjv@Jeremiah:35:6-8-10 kjv@Jeremiah:35:14-16-18-19) JEHONADAB

JONAH - J>@ - (dove), the fifth of the minor prophets, was the son of Amittai, and a native of Gath-hepher. ( kjv@2Kings:14:25) He flourished in or before the reign of Jeroboam II., about B.C. 820. Having already, as it seems, prophesied to Israel, he was sent to Nineveh. The time was one of political revival in Israel; but ere long the Assyrians were to be employed by God as a scourge upon them. The prophet shrank from a commission which he felt sure would result, kjv@Jonah:4:2) in the sparing of a hostile city. He attempted therefore to escape to Tarshish. The providence of God, however, watched over him, first in a storm, and then in his being swallowed by a large fish (a sea monster, probably the white shark) for the space of three days and three nights. On this subject see article WHALE After his deliverance, Jonah executed his commission; and the king, "believing him to be a minister form the supreme deity of the nation," and having heard of his miraculous deliverance, ordered a general fast, and averted the threatened judgment. But the prophet, not from personal but national feelings, grudged the mercy shown to a heathen nation. He was therefore taught by the significant lesson of the "gourd," whose growth and decay brought the truth at once home to him, that he was sent to testify by deed, as other prophets would afterward testify by word, the capacity of Gentiles for salvation, and the design of God to make them partakers of it. This was "the sign of the prophet Jonas." kjv@Luke:11:29-30) But the resurrection of Christ itself was also shadowed forth in the history of the prophet. kjv@Matthew:12:39-41 kjv@Matthew:16:4) The mission of Jonah was highly symbolical. The facts contained a concealed prophecy. The old tradition made the burial-place of Jonah to be Gath-hepher; the modern tradition places it at Nebi
- Yunus , opposite Mosul.

JONAM - J>@ - (gift or grace of God), the form given to JONAN in the Revised Version of kjv@Luke:3:30)

JONAN - J>@ - (perhaps a contraction of Johnana, gift or grace of God), son of Eliakim, in the genealogy of Christ. kjv@Luke:3:30) (B.C. before 876.)

JONAS - J>@ - (a dove). The prophet Jonah. kjv@Matthew:12:39-40-41 kjv@Matthew:16:4) Father of Peter. kjv@John:21:15-17) JONA

JONATHAN - J>@ - that is, "the gift of Jehovah, " the eldest son of King Saul. (B.C. about 1095-1056.) He was a man of great strength and activity. (2 Samuel kjv@1:23) He was also famous as a warrior, ( kjv@1Chronicles:12:2) as is shown by the courage he showing in attacking the garrison of the Philistines, in company with is armor-bearer only, slaying twenty men and putting an army to flight. ( kjv@1Samuel:14:6-16) During the pursuit, Jonathan, who had not heard of the rash curse, ch. ( kjv@1Samuel:14:24) which Saul invoked on any one who ate before the evening, tasted the honey which lay on the ground. Saul would have sacrificed him; but the people interposed in behalf of the hero of that great day, and Jonathan was saved. ch. ( kjv@1Samuel:14:24-45) The chief interest of Jonathan’s career is derived from the friendship with David, which began on the day of David’s return from the victory over the champion of Gath, and continued till his death. Their last meeting was in and forest of Ziph, during Saul’s pursuit of David. ( kjv@1Samuel:23:16-18) From this time forth we hear no more till the battle of Gilboa. In that battle he fell. ( kjv@1Samuel:31:2 kjv@1Samuel:31:8) (B.C. 1056.) his ashes were buried first at Jabesh-gilead, ch. ( kjv@1Samuel:31:13) but were afterward removed with those of his father to Zelah in Benjamin. (2 Samuel 21:12) The news of his death occasioned the celebrated elegy of David. He left a son, Mephibosheth. MEPHIBOSHETH A nephew of David. (2 Samuel 21:21; kjv@1Chronicles:20:7) He engaged in single combat with and slew a gigantic Philistine of Gath. (2 Samuel 21:21) (B.C. 1018.) The son of Abiathar, the high priest, is the last descendant of Eli of whom we hear anything. (2 Samuel 15:36; 17:15-21; kjv@Kings:1:42-43) (B.C. 1023.) One of David’s heroes. (2 Samuel 23:32; kjv@1Chronicles:11:34) The son or descendant of Gershom the son of Moses. kjv@Judges:18:30) MICAH (B.C. about 1425.) One of the Bene

See No. 6] (B.C. 446.)

JONATHELEMRECHOKIM - J>@ - (a dumb love of (in) distant places), a phrase found once only in the Bible, as a heading to the 56th psalm. Aben Ezra, who regards Jonath-elem-rechokim as merely indicating the modulation or the rhythm of the psalm, appears to come the nearest to the meaning of the passage.

easton:

Jonadab @ =Jehon'adab.

(1.) The son of Rechab, and founder of the Rechabites (q.v.), kjv@2Kings:10:15; kjv@Jeremiah:35:6 kjv@Jeremiah:35:10.

(2.) The son of Shimeah, David's brother ( kjv@2Samuel:13:3). He was "a very subtil man."

Jonah @ a dove, the son of Amittai of Gath-hepher. He was a prophet of Israel, and predicted the restoration of the ancient boundaries ( kjv@2Kings:14:25-27) of the kingdom. He exercised his ministry very early in the reign of Jeroboam II., and thus was contemporary with Hosea and Amos; or possibly he preceded them, and consequently may have been the very oldest of all the prophets whose writings we possess. His personal history is mainly to be gathered from the book which bears his name. It is chiefly interesting from the two-fold character in which he appears,

(1) as a missionary to heathen Nineveh, and

(2) as a type of the "Son of man."

Jonah, Book of @ This book professes to give an account of what actually took place in the experience of the prophet. Some critics have sought to interpret the book as a parable or allegory, and not as a history. They have done so for various reasons. Thus

(1) some reject it on the ground that the miraculous element enters so largely into it, and that it is not prophetical but narrative in its form;

(2) others, denying the possibility of miracles altogether, hold that therefore it cannot be true history. Jonah and his story is referred to by our Lord kjv@Matthew:12:39-40; kjv@Luke:11:29), a fact to which the greatest weight must be attached. It is impossible to interpret this reference on any other theory. This one argument is of sufficient importance to settle the whole question. No theories devised for the purpose of getting rid of difficulties can stand against such a proof that the book is a veritable history. There is every reason to believe that this book was written by Jonah himself. It gives an account of

(1) his divine commission to go to Nineveh, his disobedience, and the punishment following (1:1-17);

(2) his prayer and miraculous deliverance (1:17-2:10);

(3) the second commission given to him, and his prompt obedience in delivering the message from God, and its results in the repentance of the Ninevites, and God's long-sparing mercy toward them (ch. 3);

(4) Jonah's displeasure at God's merciful decision, and the rebuke tendered to the impatient prophet (ch. 4). Nineveh was spared after Jonah's mission for more than a century. The history of Jonah may well be regarded "as a part of that great onward movement which was before the Law and under the Law; which gained strength and volume as the fulness of the times drew near.", Perowne's Jonah.

Jonas @

(1.) Greek form of Jonah kjv@Matthew:12:39-40, 41, etc.).

(2.) The father of the apostles Peter kjv@John:21:15-17) and Andrew; but the reading should be (also in 1:42), as in the Revised Version, "John," instead of Jonas.

Jonath-elem-rechokim @ dove of the dumbness of the distance; i.e., "the silent dove in distant places", title of kjv@Psalms:56. This was probably the name of some well known tune or melody to which the psalm was to be sung.

Jonathan @ whom Jehovah gave, the name of fifteen or more persons that are mentioned in Scripture. The chief of these are,

(1.) A Levite descended from Gershom kjv@Judges:18:30). His history is recorded in 17:7-13 and 18:30. The Rabbins changed this name into Manasseh "to screen the memory of the great lawgiver from the stain of having so unworthy an apostate among his near descendants." He became priest of the idol image at Dan, and this office continued in his family till the Captivity.

(2.) The eldest son of king Saul, and the bosom friend of David. He is first mentioned when he was about thirty years of age, some time after his father's accession to the throne ( kjv@1Samuel:13:2). Like his father, he was a man of great strength and activity ( kjv@2Samuel:1:23), and excelled in archery and slinging ( kjv@1Chronicles:12:2; kjv@2Samuel:1:22). The affection that evidently subsisted between him and his father was interrupted by the growth of Saul's insanity. At length, "in fierce anger," he left his father's presence and cast in his lot with the cause of David ( kjv@1Samuel:20:34). After an eventful career, interwoven to a great extent with that of David, he fell, along with his father and his two brothers, on the fatal field of Gilboa ( kjv@1Samuel:31:2 kjv@1Samuel:31:8). He was first buried at Jabesh-gilead, but his remains were afterwards removed with those of his father to Zelah, in Benjamin ( kjv@2Samuel:21:12-14). His death was the occasion of David's famous elegy of "the Song of the Bow" ( kjv@2Samuel:1:17-27). He left one son five years old, Merib-baal, or Mephibosheth ( kjv@2Samuel:4:4; comp. kjv@1Chronicles:8:34).

(3.) Son of the high priest Abiathar, and one who adhered to David at the time of Absalom's rebellion ( kjv@2Samuel:15:27 kjv@2Samuel:15:36). He is the last descendant of Eli of whom there is any record.

(4.) Son of Shammah, and David's nephew, and also one of his chief warriors ( kjv@2Samuel:21:21). He slew a giant in Gath.
