Berean Strong's Lexicon Nineveh: Nineveh Original Word: נִינְוֵה Word Origin: Of foreign origin Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Nineveh in the Strong's Concordance, as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew text. However, the city is mentioned in the Greek Septuagint and the New Testament in the context of Jonah's account (e.g., Matthew 12:41). Usage: Nineveh is a significant city mentioned in the Hebrew Bible, known as the capital of the ancient Assyrian Empire. It is often associated with themes of repentance and divine judgment. Nineveh is most famously known for its role in the Book of Jonah, where it is depicted as a large and wicked city that ultimately repents at the preaching of Jonah. Cultural and Historical Background: Nineveh was one of the oldest and greatest cities of antiquity, located on the eastern bank of the Tigris River in what is now modern-day Iraq. It reached its peak during the reign of King Sennacherib (705–681 BC) and was a center of commerce, culture, and power. The city was known for its impressive walls and palaces, as well as its role as a hub of Assyrian military might. Nineveh's fall in 612 BC marked the end of the Assyrian Empire, as it was conquered by a coalition of Babylonians, Medes, and others.
