The author portrays the heathen sailors in Jonah chapter one as showing concern for Jonah's well-being despite their own pagan beliefs. They are depicted as being genuinely afraid for Jonah's life and making efforts to save him, which highlights their compassion and humanity. Their willingness to pray to God and take action to prevent Jonah's demise further emphasizes their sympathetic portrayal in the chapter.
Jonah was told by God to go and preach to the Ninevites, but Jonah disobeyed and took a ship going in the opposite direction. A big storm came upon the ship and Jonah was asked to pray to God to stop the storm. The storm did not stop and so the sailors cast lots to determine if someone on the ship was the cause of the storm. The lot fell upon Jonah and so the sailors cast Jonah into the sea.

Jonah. See the last chapter of the book of Jonah.
chapter 4 verse 8
It is like 'drawing straws' or a game of chance to determine a designated person, in this case Jonah for causing the terrible storm: Jonah 1:7-8New International Version (NIV) 7 Then the sailors said to each other, "Come, let us cast lots to find out who is responsible for this calamity." They cast lots and the lot fell on Jonah.8 So they asked him, "Tell us, who is responsible for making all this trouble for us? What kind of work do you do? Where do you come from? What is your country? From what people are you?"
jonah is the bearer of bad luck. everyone on the boat blames him for bringing the major stormthat threatens to sink the boat. they throw jonah overboard and the whale comes into the picture. merl
Jonah. God told him to go to Ninevah and preach but Jonah ran from God, he boarded a ship bound for a far away place so God sent a storm and Jonah was thrown overboard. It wasn't Jonah's time to die so god sent a whale to swallow Jonah, Jonah spent three days inside the whale praying to God for forgiveness so God had the whale spit Jonah onto shore and Jonah went to preach the gospel in Ninevah as God had commanded.
