JONAH VS KING OF NINEVEH: HISTORICAL AND ARCHAEOLOGICAL EVIDENCE by Gerard Gertoux

This period of crisis, in addition, was marked by a total solar eclipse (visible at Tel Barsip on 3 April 824 BCE)152 just at the beginning (1st Nisan) of the final year of the reign of Shalmaneser III. It is understandable that in such a dramatic context (insurgencies in rehearsals, sinister total solar eclipse on Til-Barsip the military capital of the empire, death of King Shalmaneser III, a fierce conqueror), the dire prediction of Jonah was taken seriously into account by Assyrian kings (superstitious for the most), including those of Nineveh, the religious capital of the Empire (Na 3:1,4).
