Read through Jonah 3.
What whos do you see other than the Lord and Jonah?
I noticed the people of Nineveh, the king and his nobles.
On your key card, write king and Ninevites. Decide how you'll mark each one. Since the nobles could be counted as Ninevites, that's how you could mark them. If you'd like to mark them separately, go ahead.
Read through Jonah 3, marking every reference to the king and the Ninevites.
List what you learn about the Ninevites.
List what you learn about the king of Nineveh.
Who believed in God after Jonah made his proclamation?
What did they do after they believed?
How many of them did those things?
What did the king of Nineveh do when he heard what was going on?
What did the king cover himself with? What did he sit on? Why did he do those things?
What did the king's proclamation state?
Whom did he tell the Ninevites to call upon?
Why were they to earnestly call upon God?
What were they to turn from?
What was the king hoping would happen if they did that?
And what happened when the Ninevites followed the king's proclamation?
To consider: Do you think this is what Jonah was hoping would happen? What do you think he was expecting?
