TarshishWhere Jonah fled is the name of a place that first comes into notice in the days of SolomonThe Wise King of Israel (1 Kings 10:22). In all probability this was the city of Tarsus in southern Asia Minor, which was known to the Assyrians as Tarshisha. However, the name is sometimes also used in more general meanings. The bible uses the term ships of TarshishWhere Jonah fled to denote large ships intended for large voyages whatever their destination, and JonahProphet of the ten-tribe kingdom of Israel's fleeing to TarshishWhere Jonah fled must probably be taken as 'a place very far away' rather than
a precise geographical term.
