## Facts:
Nineveh was the capital city of Assyrian empire. A “Ninevite” was a person who lived in Nineveh.
* God sent the prophet Jonah to warn the Ninevites to turn from their wicked ways. The people stopped acting so violently and God did not destroy them at that time.
* The prophets Nahum and Zephaniah both prophesied that God would destroy Nineveh as judgment for their sin.
