Where did Jonah preach?
Jonah served as a prophet to the ten-tribe kingdom of Israel during the reign of Jeroboam II. The scripture that defines why he was sent is Jonah 1:1+2, where it says: "Now the word of the LORD came unto Jonah the son of Amittai, saying, Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and cry against it; for their wickedness is come up before me."(KJV)Other scriptures and general history give us further insight. Nineveh was a city in Assyria (founded by Nimrod(Genesis 10:9-12)who rebelled against God . Isaiah 10:12 speaks about: "... the arrogant heart of the king of Assyria and the pomp of his haughtiness." (NASB) Nineveh's principal deity was Ishtar, the goddess of love and war, and historically, the Assyrians used exceptionally brutal methods of killing captured soldiers in their many wars. Though Nineveh repented for a time at Jonah's warning, it later became the capital of the Assyrian Empire, and was again known for it's wickedness, being called a: "...City of blood, full of lies, full of plunder, never without victims! " (Nahum 3:1 NIV). It received further warning from God's prophets, Nahum and Zephaniah, and was finally destroyed.

The Old Testament prophet Jonah is recorded as having ministered there. This is found in the book of Jonah.

What was Jonah's dilemma in the Bible story of Jonah and the big fish?
Jonah had a few dilemas...Jonah was God's prophet when God asked him to go to the city of Nineveh. The people in that city were very wicked and God asked Jonah to warn them that if they didn't change, they'd be destroyed.First Dilema: Jonah did not want to go because the people in Nineveh had such a brutal reputation, so fearfully he got on a boat going in the opposite direction.Now, because Jonah was afraid, and did not obey God's command, God caused a big storm to hit the boat Jonah was on, nearly sinking it. (Jonah 1:1-3)Second Dilema: The sailors were afraid, so Jonah made the decision to jump into the ocean so the boat would not be destroyed. (Jonah 1:4-16)When he did, he was swallowed by a big fish, which brought him to Nineveh. (Jonah 1:17-2:10) Once at Nineveh, Jonah preached to the town and gave them warning, and to his surprise, they LISTENED. (Jonah 3:1-4:5)Third Dilema: Jonah was upset because, though he had preached their distruction, and in his opinion they deserved to die for their wickedness, God chose to forgive them. God used the bottle gord tree as an illustration and Jonah had to adjust his attitude.(Jonah 4:5-11)

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.
