[edit] Jonah

The article says:

"The prophet Jonah was a member of the Tribe of Zebulun (1 Kings 14:15)."

But the cited verse:

15 for the LORD will smite Israel, as a reed is shaken in the water; and He will root up Israel out of this good land, which He gave to their fathers, and will scatter them beyond the River; because they have made their Asherim, provoking the LORD.

has no apparent relevance to this claim. Colonies Chris 23:36, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

After some Google research, it seems that the intended verse is 2 Kings 14:25, from which Rabbi Johanan in the Talmud identifies Jonah as a Zebulonite, on the basis that the city mentioned is in Zebulun's teritory. I'll change the verse accordingly. --Eliyak T·C 22:34, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
