Many gods

Jonah

When the boat that Jonah escaped in encountered stormy seas, the sailors all began entreating their separate gods to get them out of the mess, but it wasn't working. The captain went below decks to find Jonah fast asleep. He woke him and asked Jonah to pray to his God.

In times of trouble people want to turn to a transcendent being... but if the god you believe in wasn't the God who created you and the universe and everything in it, there should be no reasonable expectation that your god can accomplish anything real. The sailors instinctively reached to someone who could fix their problem, but they didn't really know who that was. We later learn that Jonah prophesied to the citizens of Ninevah and introduced them to his God, but even before that Jonah introduced the sailors to his God... so much so that they were awestruck by God and offered him a sacrificed and vowed to serve him. When our eyes are opened to the one true God, our reaction should be the same as the sailors and the Ninevites.
