What was the mission that God gave Jonah to do?
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.
Which Old Testament prophets went to Nineveh?
Jonah.Nahum and Zephaniah mention Nineveh, but they likely did not go there.
Why didn't Jonah want to go to Nineveh?
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.

To whom was jonah delivering his message?
Jonah was (according to the book of Jonah) instructed by God to go and preach to the Assyrian city of Nineveh. God told Jonah that their wickedness had come before him and he wanted Jonah to be his messenger.Jonah, being fearful, ran from God to try and avoid God's instruction. The story can be found in the Book of Jonah.Answer 2According to tradition, Jonah's message was chiefly meant to impress the Ten Israelite Tribes. If they would take to heart how the people of Nineveh repented, they might do the same. Jonah suspected that most of the Ten Tribes were likely to ignore the lesson and this would hasten the destruction of their land. That's why he fled.
