“For word came unto the king of Nineveh, and he arose from his throne, and he laid his robe from him, and covered him with sackcloth, and sat in ashes.”
The description of the king of Nineveh rising from his throne, taking off his robe, covering himself with sackcloth, and sitting in ashes indicates the repentance of the highest authority. The physical actions of mourning indicate the sincerity of the response.
