In the book of Jonah, God commands Jonah to go to the city of Nineveh, a place known for its wickedness, and warn the people to repent or face destruction. Jonah, however, disobeys and tries to flee in the opposite direction by boarding a ship. During his escape, a violent storm arises, and Jonah, realizing he is the cause, tells the sailors to throw him overboard. A great fish (often depicted as a whale) swallows Jonah, and he spends three days and nights in its belly. During this time, Jonah prays to God, expressing repentance.

1 Kings 17 recounts the story of the prophet Elijah during a time of drought and famine in Israel. The chapter begins with God sending Elijah to confront King Ahab, who had led Israel into idolatry, and declare that there would be no rain or dew for several years, except at Elijah's word.

In 2 Samuel 7:1-17, King David expresses a desire to build a temple for the Ark of the Covenant, feeling it is inappropriate for him to live in a grand palace while the Ark resides in a tent. The prophet Nathan initially supports David's plan, but later, God speaks to Nathan, telling him that it is not David's role to build the temple.

Exodus 32:1-14 recounts the story of the Israelites' idolatry and Moses' intercession. While Moses is on Mount Sinai receiving the Ten Commandments, the Israelites become impatient and ask Aaron to make them a god. 

In the first couple chapter of Exodus, Moses is born during a time of persecution, when Pharaoh orders the killing of all Hebrew male infants. His mother hides him, placing him in a basket on the Nile, where Pharaoh’s daughter finds and adopts him. As an adult, Moses kills an Egyptian for abusing a Hebrew and flees to Midian, where he marries Zipporah. Meanwhile, God hears the cries of the Israelites suffering in Egypt.
