""Nineveh" is mentioned in the Bible." I believe it was around Nineveh where the Assyrians took the Northern Tribes of Israel, wasn't it?

IIRC, a fellow named Jonah was sent to call the people of Nineveh to repentence.
(but Jonah didn't like the people of Nineveh...leading to his attempt to
flee in the opposite direction and that round-about trip via the innards
of a great fish).
