"God directly intervenes in Pharaoh's inner deliberations, “hardening his heart" in order to demonstrate his divine might (Ex. 1071). God also hardens the heart of Sihon, king of the Arnorites (Deut. 2:30), and applies the same divine strategy to the Canaanites (Josh. 11:20). Conversely, God does not permit Abimelech, king of Gerar, to sin with Abraham's wife Sarah (Gen. 20:6). In an encounter with Saul, David suggests that it may h ..."
