vers. 6 The text. ¶* And* word came to the king of Nineveh, and he rose from his Throne, and cast away his Robe from him, and put on sackcloth, and sate upon the dust, (or in the ashes.) vers. 7 And he proclaimed and said thorough Nineveh (by the Counsel of the King and his Nobles) saying: Let neither man, nor cattle (or beast) bullock nor sheep taste any thing, neither feed nor drink water. vers. 8 And let man and beast put on Sackcloth, and cry mightily unto God: and let every man return from his wicked ways, and from the rapine which is in their hands.

Calvin. IT is doubtful whether Jonah certain days preached, before it was known to the King, this is truly the more received opinion: For the Interpreters do so expound this verse, where it is said that the speech was brought unto the King, as though the King had understood that the whole City was on a roar, and moved with the preaching of Jonah: but the words admit a contrary sense and exposition, even that the speech of Jonah by and by came to the Kings ears, and I rather incline to this exposition and judgement. For Jonah seemeth exegetically or expositinally to show how the Ninevites put on Sackcloth. This he spake briefly, vers. 5. and now he uttereth the same more largely. And we know that this order is much used among the Hebrews to tth the sum of things in few words: and afterward to add the explication.
