There are 2 cases in Tanach that are loosely similar tho' by no means a
perfect analogy:

   1. Moshe pleaded to HKBH on behalf of Am Yisrael after the Egel
   Masecha * then proceeded to give them strong mussar...
   2. Similarly, Shmuel pleaded to HKBH on behalf of Sha'ul Hamelech
   after Milchmes Amaleik all night long and then proceeded to give him strong
   mussar.
