Jonah 3:6

The word reached the king of Nineveh , and he arose from his throne , removed his robe , covered himself with sackcloth , and sat in ashes .

When Jonah`s warning reached the king of Nineveh, he rose from his throne, took off his royal robes, covered himself with sackcloth and sat down in the dust.

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.
