Answer 1

Although The Bible offers sparse information regarding Jonah's background, he is mentioned in 2 Kings 14:25 as being from Gath-hepher in Galilean Zebulun, which suggests he was of the tribe of Zebulun.

Answer 2

At 2 Kings 14:25, we learn a little about Jonah's background. He was from Gath-hepher, just two and a half miles [4 km] from Nazareth, the town where Jesus Christ would grow up some eight centuries later. Jonah served as a prophet during the reign of King Jeroboam II of the ten-tribe kingdom of Israel.
