Which empire was Ninevah the capital of?
Nineveh was an ancient Assyrian city of Upper Mesopotamia. Nineveh was the capital of the Neo-Assyrian Empire.
Why was the city of ninevah important?
Even in the Hebrew Bible (Old Testament), Ninevah was considered a major destination-- in the Book of Job, the relunctant prophet is told to go there, and it is called a "great city," but one that is also known for wickedness. Historically, we know that Ninevah (which would be in Iraq today, close to the city of Mosul) was one of the oldest cities in the ancient world-- some sources say it was settled as early as 6000 BCE. Not only was it a major center of trade and commerce in ancient Assyria, but it was the home location for the worship of the goddess Ishtar.
What did Jonah do when God told him to preach the city of Ninevah?
Jonah went in totally the opposite direction to the West by sea instead of by land to the East, since he hated the people of Nineveh, the Assyrians, and did not want to obey and preach to them. These people were noted for their cruelty to those people who they conquered, and even though they thus needed to repent and change their behavior, Jonah did not want them to do so. He wanted them to be destroyed. He was afraid that if he preached God's message they would repent and so be saved.
Who was the chaldean king that captured Jerusalem?
The Assyrian Empire never captured Jerusalem; King Hezekiah of Judah was able to defend the city. This was an anomaly since most parts of Judah, including the #2 city of Lachish, were razed to the ground. The Bible credits Hezekiah's success to a Divine plague which decimated the Assyrian troops gathered outside of Jerusalem. King Sennacherib of Assyria's own documents argue that Jerusalem was allowed to be independent in order to taunt Hezekiah and force him to pay Sennacherib an exorbitant tribute. The Assyrian description makes far less sense since the Assyrians believed in expansionist foreign policy instead of simply reinstating enemy city states.If you want the name of the Assyrian Leader who led the assault on Jerusalem and the rest of the Kingdom of Judah, that was KING SENNACHERIB.
