Nineveh, Ninevite

Facts:

Nineveh was the capital city of Assyria. 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 repented and God did not destroy them.
The Assyrians later stopped serving God. They conquered the kingdom of Israel and carried the people away to Nineveh.
