VERSE 2 
 - Nineveh.
  Nineveh, the capital of Assyria, was situated on the eastern
  bank of the river Tigris, opposite the present Mosul, about
  280 miles north of Babylon, 400 N. E. of Damascus, in latitude
  36ø 20' N. longitude 73ø 10' E.  It was not only a very
  ancient, (Ge 10:11,) but also a very great city.  Strabo says
  that it was much larger than Babylon, the circuit of which he
  estimates at 385 furlongs; and, according to Diodorus Siculus,
  it was an oblong parallelogram, extending 150 furlongs in
  length, 90 in breadth, and 480 in circumference, i.e., about
  20 miles long, 12 broad, and 60 in compass.  This agrees with
  the account given here of its being "an exceeding great city
  of three days' journey," i.e., in circuit; for 20 miles a day
  was the common computation for a pedestrian.  It was
  surrounded by large walls 100 feet high, so broad that three
  chariots could drive abreast on them, and defended by 1,500
  towers 200 feet in height.  See notes on Nahum.
