Tarshish

Now the word of the Lord came vnto Ionah the sonne of Amittai, saying,

Arise, goe to Nineueh that great citie, and cry against it: for their wickednes is come vp before me.

But Ionah rose vp to flee vnto Tarshish, from the presence of the Lord, and went downe to Ioppa, and he found a ship going to Tarshish: so he payed the fare thereof, and went downe into it, to goe with them vnto Tarshish from the presence of the Lord.
