פּירוש אויף יונה 3:1

The second prophecy begins with "And the Word of G-d came to Yonah a second time" until the end of the book and it has two sections. The first begins here and the second with G-d asking Yonah "are you that deeply grieved?"And I have six questions.

"And it was"- [for] a second time.

Rabbi Yitzchak Abarbanel wrote on that which our sages of blessed memory said(which is that God spoke to Yonah for a second time but not a third time) that it is proven from that which is written in the Seder Olam, [which says] that Yonah anointed Yeihu in the year 3062 from the creation of the world, and he lived until Zechariah, who ruled as king in 3164, and thus from the day he began to prophesy he lived 102 years, and we don't find any other prophesy for him during this time except for these two prophesies that he prophesied about Ninvei. Based on this we know that that prophecy ceased to come from him from then [onwards], and this was fitting to be done, after he had flounted the prophecy and did not wish to fulfill the word of God. This [comment by the Abarbanel] is astounding, because he is contradicting himself, that which he said after this close by, [which is] that the prophecy of Yonah about Ninvei was six years before the destruction of Samaria, which was in the days of Hoshua ben Aylah, and afterwards he he prophesied for ten more years in the days of Menachem ben Gadi, two [more] years in the days of Pekachyah his son, twenty [more] years in the days of Pekach, and the three years of [his prophecy in the days of] Hoshua [ben Aylah], thus his prophecy lasted for 137 years?! Furthermore, wasn't the prophecy on Ninvei [received] at the end of his life, and how can we bring a proof from the fact that God did not speak to him before this event to say that he was going to take his prophethood from him? At that point[before God gave him the prophecy of Ninvei) he had not yet refused to do his duty [as a prophet, thus it would be unjust for God to take it away with no warning]!? Another astounding thing is that in the book of Nachum it is written that the destruction of Shomrom was forty years from the time that Yonah prophesied and another eighty years can be added to this until the destruction of Ninvei, but weren't there 114 years between the destruction of Shomron and the destruction of Ninvei, which was in the fourth year of [the reign] of king Yehoyakim? This also contradicts that which he[the Abarbanel] wrote- that Yonah's prophecy was six years before the Destruction of Shomron.
