Jewish Prophets

Elisha was a prophet and a wonder-worker. He was a disciple and protégé of Elijah, and after Elijah was taken up in a whirlwind, Elisha received a "double portion" of his power and he was accepted as the leader of the sons of the prophets. 

Sent to warn the inhabitants of the Assyrian capital of Ninevah about God's Judgement. Jonah fled his call because it was the Assyrians who were destroying the Jews. As he was escaping on a ship bound for Tarshish a great storm arose. The sailors concluded that this tempest came on account of Jonah so they threw him overboard. He was immediately swallowed by a great sea monster prepared by God. Jonah repented in the bowels of the creature and was released the third morning. He went to Nineveh and said, "Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown!" (Jonah 3:4)
As a result of his preaching the people changed their ways and God spared the city.

Amos was born in Judah but prophesied in Israel during the reign of Jeroboam II. He condemned Israel's neighboring countries for their cruelty, but mostly Israel for breaking God's laws.

In the years leading up to the fall of Samaria, Hosea warned that the people would become slaves in Assyria because they had forgotten God. They had even turned to Assyria and Egypt for help. God would later restore them but after some measure of discipline.

Nahum's main message was the destruction of Nineveh as a judgement on the Assyrians for their cruel treatment of other nations. His writings could be taken as prophecy or as history. One account suggests that his writings are a prophecy written in about 615 BCE, just before the downfall of Assyria, while another account suggests that he wrote this passage as liturgy just after its downfall in 612 BCE.

He also foretold the destruction and restoration of Jerusalem.
