EXODUS 14:9 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“But the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them encamping by the sea, beside Pi–hahiroth, before Baal–zephon.”
The Egyptians — all Pharaoh's horses and chariots, horsemen and troops — pursued the Israelites and overtook them as they camped by the sea near Pi Hahiroth, opposite Baal Zephon. The geography of verse 2 returns: Pi Hahiroth, the sea. Israel is exactly where God positioned them, and the Egyptian army is exactly where God's hardening of Pharaoh drove them. The convergence at this specific location is not coincidence but divine arrangement. The campsite that appeared to be a trap has become the theater of the most dramatic deliverance in Israel's history. God positioned Israel exactly where He wanted them to be when the deliverance occurred. Psalm 46:1 says God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble — the trouble at Pi Hahiroth is the founding demonstration of that psalm's claim.
