# 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.
