Is there any biblical examples of people that had gotten hardened hearts but God later, for some reason, chose to soften it without their repentance?
And I don't mean backsliding like David did, I mean hardened hearts like Pharaoh for example. Thank you in advance, I will try to look it up as well.
It's kind of a catch-22 scenario because in my definition a hardened heart can no longer repent, because they already have had their chances to repent, but repentance would be the key to getting a soft heart again. So the only way would be if God, for any other reason, would from his initiative choose to soften their heart. I just don't know for what reason, but if there is even one example that would mean a lot
