Jonah 1

YHWH commands Jonah to preach against Nineveh, but Jonah flees westward by ship to Tarshish instead. When a storm arises, the sailors cast lots and discover Jonah is responsible; he suggests they throw him overboard, and after reluctantly doing so, the storm ceases and a great fish swallows Jonah.
