General Notes On The Book Of Jonah:

Jonah the son of Amittai (was) from Gath-hepher, from Kuryath-Adamos, which is near to Ascalon and Gaza and the sea coast. After this (prophet) had prophesied to the Ninevites in the time of Sardana the king, he did not remain in his own land because the Jews were jealous of him; but he took his mother, and went and dwelt in Assyria. He feared the reproach of the Jews, because he had prophesied, and his prophecy did not come to pass. He also rebuked Ahab the king, and called a famine upon the land and the people. He came to the widow of Elijah, and blessed her, because she received him, and he returned to Judaea. His mother died on the way, and he buried her by the side of Deborah's grave. He lived in the land of Serida, and died two years after the people had returned from Babylon, and was buried in the cave of Kainan1. This (prophet) prophesied that when the Messiah should come, the cities of the Jews would be overturned.
