Again, he sent other servants more than the first: and they did unto them likewise.
Ver. 36. Again he sent other servants] Oh the infinite goodness and longsuffering of Almighty God! Jonah upbraided him with it most unworthily, in that brawl of his,John 4:2.

Ezekiel Eze 4:4-5 describes it by God's lying on one side for three hundred and ninety years together, which must needs be very troublesome. We cannot lay for a few hours on one side, but we must turn us. David, for the abuse of his ambassadors, fell very foul on the Ammonites.

But God bears with men's evil manners, though he have power enough in his hand to deal with them at his pleasure.
