און עס איז געװען נאָך די דאָזיקע געשעענישן, איז קראַנק געװאָרן דער זון פֿון דער פֿרױ, דער בעל-הביתטע פֿון הױז, און זײַן קראַנקשאַפֿט איז געװען זײער שטאַרק, ביז אין אים איז מער אַן אָטעם ניט געבליבן.
Depths of Yonah
Approach Number Three - Abarbanel
Abarbanel utilizes a Midrash that identifies Yonah as the lad that Eliyahu HaNavi revived (see Melachim I 17:17-24) to explain our Pasuk. According to Abarbanel, Yonah is saying that just as a child he called out to Hashem and Hashem answered him, Yonah is confident Hashem will answer him now in his current predicament.
