INineve, ekuqaleni kwekhulu lesishiyagalombili B.C.E., laliyidolobha elikhulu eMbusweni wase-Asiriya owawusanda. Imibono ehlukahlukene yebhayibheli ithi inani labantu bomuzi, ngaleso sikhathi kaJona, lalikuphi ukusuka ku-120.000 kuya ku-600.000 noma ngaphezulu.

Ukuziphatha okubi komuzi kudonsela ukunaka uNkulunkulu futhi kwaheha ukwahlulela kwakhe (Jona 1: 1 - 2). INkosi inquma, kepha, ukwedlulisela isihe kulo muzi. Thumela umprofethi omncane uJona ukuba axwayise iNineve ngezindlela zakhe zesono nokubhujiswa okuseduze (3: 4).
