Amittai (/əˈmɪt.aɪ/; Hebrew: אֲמִתַּי, ʾǍmīttay, "true";[1] Latin: Amathi; Arabic: مَتّىٰ, romanized: Mattā) was the father of the Prophet Jonah.
Amittai is only mentioned twice in the Bible, in 2 Kings 14:25 and Jonah 1:1.
Amittai (Matta in Arabic) is also mentioned in Islam by Muhammad.
When Muhammad was returning from preaching in Ta'if and decided to take shelter in the garden of two leaders, Addas, a lowly servant boy, was sent to offer grapes to Muhammad.
Upon receiving this answer, Muhammad exclaimed "The town of Jonah, son of Amittai!"
