God instructed Jonah to go to the city of Nineveh in the Bible.
In the Bible story, God instructed Jonah to go to the city of Nineveh and warn its people to repent for their sins.
That city was Nineveh
To go to Nineveh and tell them that they were to be destroyed because of their ungodly acts. Nineveh was the main city of the Assyrian Empire, who were known for their harsh and barbaric ways. For instance, they would play a type of sport with the heads of their enemies. Jonah's fear of them was a natural human reaction but also one that lacked faith in God. Hence the rest of the story is Jonah running away from the assignment and then being taught faith, compassion, and humility by God. At the end, he fulfilled the mission.
Jonah.Nahum and Zephaniah mention Nineveh, but they likely did not go there.
Yes, Jonah went to Nineveh as part of his journey.
Although not stated explicitly, it is evident that Jonah hated the people of Nineveh and did not want them to repent and be spared that judgment of God on their wicked acts.See Jonah 3:10 through 4:3. First, Johah did not hate the people of Nineveh. He explains in Chapter 4 verse 2 how he understood God, "And he prayed unto the Lord, and said, I pray thee, O Lord, was not this my saying, when I was yet in my country? Therefore I fled before unto Tarshish: for I knew that thou art a gracious God, and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repentest thee of the evil." In other words, Jonah knew that he would tell the people to repent, and if they did God would be gracious to them and change his mind about judging them. The reason for God's jugement can be found in the very last chapter and last verse. "And should not I spare Nineveh, that great city, wherein are more than sixscorethousand persons that cannot discern between their right hand and their left hand; and also much cattle?" Basically, the city of Nineveh could no longer tell the good from the bad. As a prophet of God he ran rather to speak for God and God have mercy and change his mind and he look like a prophet who does not hear from God. I think a pride issue not a hate issue.
Jonah went to Nineveh when he was sent on a mission to preach there.
