Nowhere in this chapter [Jonah 1], or anywhere else in Jonah for that matter, are we told that he repented of his disobedience, so his eventual trek to Nineveh should not be taken as irrefutable evidence that he has fully submitted himself to God's call.
--Daniel C. Timmer, A Gracious and Compassionate God: Mission, Salvation and Spirituality in the Book of Jonah (New Studies in Biblical Theology; Downers Grove, IL: InterVarsity, 2011), 71.
