EXODUS 14:28 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And the waters returned, and covered the chariots, and the horsemen, and all the host of Pharaoh that came into the sea after them; there remained not so much as one of them.”
The water flowed back and covered the chariots and horsemen — the entire army of Pharaoh that had followed the Israelites into the sea. Not one of them survived. Not one. The totality of the Egyptian army's destruction matches the totality of the firstborn deaths in the tenth plague: all Egypt's firstborn, all Egypt's army. The six hundred elite chariots of verse 7 are all covered. The horsemen of verses 17 and 18 are all covered. Psalm 136:15 says God swept Pharaoh and his army into the Red Sea — his love endures forever. The total destruction of the pursuing army is the occasion for the declaration of God's enduring love: not cold, judicial indifference, but the love that eliminates what would destroy His people, permanently and completely. Not one of them survived is the military form of the Passover's not a dog will bark against any of the Israelites.
