Jonah 1:1-3
1The Lord spoke his word to Jonah, son of Amittai. He said,
2“Leave at once for the important city, Nineveh. Announce to the people that I can no longer overlook the wicked things they have done.”
3Jonah immediately tried to run away from the Lord by going to Tarshish. He went to Joppa and found a ship going to Tarshish. He paid for the trip and went on board. He wanted to go to Tarshish to get away from the Lord.
