The frogs will come up on you and your people and all your officials. The comprehensive list closes with Pharaoh himself named explicitly — you. The frogs that will invade every Egyptian household will not stop at the palace doors. Pharaoh's elevation above his people does not elevate him above God's reach. Acts 10:34 declares that God does not show favoritism — the same principle operates in judgment as in mercy. No office, no palace, no divine ancestry claimed by Egypt's kings will insulate Pharaoh from what is coming. The Egyptian king presented himself as the earthly embodiment of Ra, as the son of the gods; the frogs will visit his bedroom and his bed and demonstrate that his divine status offers no protection from the God of the Hebrews.
