* Jonah is famous for his reluctance to fulfill God's command to preach to the people of Nineveh. He tried to run away from the task but ultimately obeyed and delivered God's message of repentance. The people of Nineveh responded with repentance, and God spared the city.
* Nahum prophesied against Nineveh specifically, emphasizing its wickedness and predicting its destruction. His prophecy was fulfilled when the Assyrian capital was conquered by the Babylonians in 612 BC.
