Answer Details

The people in the ship asked Jonah the question "What is the this that you have done!" because they knew he was fleeing from the LORD. Jonah had been instructed by God to go to Nineveh and preach against the city's wickedness, but he chose to disobey and boarded a ship going in the opposite direction. When a great storm came upon them, the sailors eventually realized that Jonah was the reason for their troubles and asked him what he had done to bring such misfortune upon them.
