**Achazyahu** (Ahaziah) son of Yehoram became king over Yehudah at age 22 [(see Yalkut end of Melachim II in the name of Seder Olam)] in the year 3055, the 12th year of Yoram son of Achav (even though Yehoram his father became king in the 5th year of Yoram son of Achav and reigned 8 years which totals 12 years, the Ralbag resolved that the 12th year was not complete so it wasn't counted, and what is written in chapter 9 that in the 11th year of Yoram son of Achav Achazyahu became king, thus it seems it was at least the 12th of Yoram. The 5th of Yoram and the 8th that Yehoram king of Yehudah reigned, Rashi already resolved that Achazyahu reigned one year during his father's lifetime when he was afflicted with severe illnesses (as written in Divrei HaYamim II 21), and what is written in Divrei HaYamim II 22 that Achazyahu was 42 when he became king but all the days of his father Yehoram were only 40 years as written in Melachim 8.

According to this, Achazyahu the son would be older than his father by 2 years, but Rashi in Melachim II 9 in the name of Seder Olam chapter 17 and the Radak and Ralbag resolved this, see there). He reigned one year and did evil and Yehu son of Nimshi killed him [(Tzeda)]. His mother was Atalyah daughter of Omri king of Yisrael [(Melachim II 8:9) and above it says that Atalyah daughter of Achav was Yehoram his father's wife, and it says daughter of Omri because grandchildren are like children, and what it says that he was son-in-law of the house of Achav, he was actually a grandson of the house of Achav which is also called son-in-law, meaning through marriage was his closeness to them (Mikhlal)].

Yehoshafat was the High Priest and Elisha the prophet [(and in Sha'ar HaDorot 18 it says Yehoshua was the High Priest)] making 12 generations [(section 7)].

**Yehu** (son of Yehoshafat) son of Nimshi became king over Yisrael in Shomron for 28 years from year 3055, and he killed Yoram son of Achav along with 70 of his brothers and all his house and Achazyahu king of Yehudah [(Melachim II 9)], and he found 42 men who were brothers of Achazyahu and killed them [(Melachim II 10), meaning sons of Achazyahu's brothers (and so it is in Divrei HaYamim II 22)]. In his days was Yonah son of Amitai the prophet, a student of Elisha, the teacher of Yehu, and he was the young prophet [(Melachim II 9)] who went and anointed him as king by command of Elisha [(see Tzeda and Radak)].

He was born in Gath-Asher [(see year 21). In Pirkei d'Rabbi Eliezer the Tzarfatit (the woman of Tzarfat) was his mother (Meor and Vayechi and in Zohar Parshat Vayakhel, see there in detail), and in Midrash Kohelet it appears that the son of the Tzarfatit did not die, and in Bereishit Rabbah Parshat Vayechi the mother of Yonah was from Asher and his father from Zevulun. Some say his mother was a convert, and in Seder Olam Yonah lived more than 120 years, and in tractate Rosh Hashanah 84 (this should be Eruvin) his wife would go up for the pilgrimage (Sha'ar HaDorot 18:2).

In the Zohar Parshat Pekudei, the men who were on the ship with Yonah converted and learned Torah. The handle that Yehu held was called his staff (Sha'ar HaDorot Tzada). The son of the Tzarfatit is Mashiach ben Yosef (Seder). The Tzarfatit is in the secret of Sarah, therefore the Shechinah rested on her flour as all the time that Sarah lived there was blessing in the dough, and the son Yonah was from the spark of Yitzchak from the male side which was the feminine, and Yitzchak was bound at the Akedah, for thus all those who come from the male side are feminine, therefore Yonah was conceived in the womb of the idea (Bereishit).

The Tzarfatit was a reincarnation of Chavah [(see year 1141)]. The grave of Yonah son of Amitai is in the village of Kanah, and upon it was built a house of prayer for Edom with many windows and fruits, and they say that through his merit the fruits grow large, and upon it are two palm trees and below the mountain is buried our master Yaakov HaKadosh and his son Rabbi Elazar. And in the book Masa'ot Binyamin, in Tzippori are buried our holy master [Rabbi Yehudah HaNasi] and Rabbi Chayim his grandfather and Yonah son of Amitai, and these graves are at the top of the mountain [(Gedolei Yisrael)].
