Explained for Children
Imagine if your favorite team lost a game so badly that all their best players had to sit out and weren't allowed to play anymore. That's kind of what happened here, but much worse. A big city called Nineveh was attacked, its kids were hurt, and the grown-ups who used to be in charge ended up being treated very poorly.
Historical Background

Living It Out Today
