Talmud for Jonah 2:3
וַיֹּ֗אמֶר קָ֠רָאתִי מִצָּ֥רָה לִ֛י אֶל־יְהוָ֖ה וַֽיַּעֲנֵ֑נִי מִבֶּ֧טֶן שְׁא֛וֹל שִׁוַּ֖עְתִּי שָׁמַ֥עְתָּ קוֹלִֽי׃
And he said: I called out of mine affliction Unto the LORD, and He answered me; Out of the belly of the nether-world cried I, And Thou heardest my voice.
Jerusalem Talmud Taanit
HALAKHAH: It is written168Jon. 2:3. The verse referred to in the Mishnah.: He said, I called on the Eternal in my trouble and he answered me. Would not David and Solomon have to precede Elijah and Jonah169Since the next Mishnah refers to David and Solomon, the sequence Abraham, Exodus, Joshua, Samuel, Elijah, Jonah, David and Solomon, is not chronological.? Only to conclude with “Who shows mercy for the Land.”
