Jonah is believed to have prophesied during the reign of Jeroboam II in the 8th century BC. He was sent to the city of Nineveh by God but initially tried to flee. After being swallowed by a great fish and then spit out, Jonah eventually obeyed God's command and preached to the people of Nineveh, who repented.
Nahum, on the other hand, prophesied against Nineveh around the same time as Jonah, predicting its destruction. The city was eventually destroyed by the Babylonians in 612 BC.
