Answer: Jonah

The story of Jonah is found in the Old Testament book of the same name. He was called by God to preach the message of repentance to the people of Nineveh.

Jonah realized it was due to his disobedience and asked to be cast overboard.

He eventually reached Nineveh, via a big fish, and preached the word of God, causing the entire kingdom to repent.
