The answer
2 Kings, in the reign of Jeroboam II. 2 Kings 14:25 says the king restored Israel's border "according to the word of the Lord" spoken by "his servant Jonah son of Amittai, the prophet who was from Gath-hepher."
Why it’s interesting
Gath-hepher was a town in southern Galilee, about 14 miles northeast of Megiddo. Some early Jewish interpreters went further and made Jonah the widow's son whom Elijah raised from the dead (1 Kings 17).
