I only ever see people quoting the repentance of Isreal, David, Nivenah and Manasseh in the Bible. Any other examples?

Exodus 32:14
And the Lord repented of the evil which he thought to do unto his people.

Paul repented?

Yeah. Remember? He used to be Saul, who believed in the one true God of Israel, but who persecuted the followe.........................

But of course, you already know this. So, yes, Paul had to repent of his accusatory point of view and his incessant molestation of Jesus' church. This can be counted as a form of repentance. Paul had to turn around from the behavior he was at one point sinfully doing (even if partly in ignorance).

I know, I know. You're probably wanting an example more like that of Mannaseh. ;)

the thief on the cross and the one tax collector in Luke 19
8 Then Zacchaeus stood and said to the Lord, “Look, Lord, I give half of my goods to the poor; and if I have taken anything from anyone by false accusation, I restore fourfold.”
9 And Jesus said to him, “Today salvation has come to this house, because he also is a son of Abraham; 10 for the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost.”
