What are examples of God being merciful to individuals/taking back his original judgment?

The first that comes to my mind is when God didn't destroy Nineveh after Jonah eventually warned them of the coming judgement against them.

After the prophet Isaiah told Hezekiah he was going to die, he wept bitterly and reminded God on his obedience. After that God allowed him to live another 15 years.
