b'Like Jonah before him, the prophet Nahum preaches devastation and ruin for Ninevah, only this time Ninevah doesn\\u2019t repent. Ninevah was the capital of Assyria, a nation of unparalleled power and wealth which had recently decimated the nation of Israel. Though they thought themselves to be secure from danger, their downfall came after nearby rivers flooded the city and destroyed part of the city wall, allowing Babylon to enter easily and set it ablaze. Later, we\\u2019re introduced to King Josiah, who is one of Judah\\u2019s most notable kings, as he rediscovers the book of the law and mourns that God\\u2019s wrath is surely coming upon them.'
