Footnotes
- 9 Heb “men.” The term is used generically here for “people” (so , , and many other English versions); cf. “the Ninevites.”
- 10 The people of Nineveh believed in God.… Verse 5 provides a summary of the response in Nineveh; the people of all ranks believed and gave evidence of contrition by fasting and wearing sackcloth (2 Sam 12:16, 19–23; 1 Kgs 21:27–29; Neh 9:1–2). Then vv. 6–9 provide specific details, focusing on the king’s reaction. The Ninevites’ response parallels the response of the pagan sailors in 1:6 and 13–16.
- 11 Heb “from the greatest of them to the least of them.”
