14:7 And he took six hundred chosen chariots, and {d} all the chariots of Egypt, and captains over every one of them.
(d) Josephus writes that besides those chariots, there were 50,000 horsemen, and 80,000 footmen.
14:7 Captains over every one of them - Or rather over all of them; distributing the command of them to his several Captains.
14:1-9 Pharaoh would think that all Israel was entangled in the wilderness, and so would become an easy prey. But God says, I will be honoured upon Pharaoh. All men being made for the honour of their Maker, those whom he is not honoured by, he will be honoured upon. What seems to tend to the church's ruin, is often overruled to the ruin of the church's enemies. While Pharaoh gratified his malice and revenge, he furthered the bringing to pass God's counsels concerning him. Though with the greatest reason he had let Israel go, yet now he was angry with himself for it. God makes the envy and rage of men against his people, a torment to themselves. Those who set their faces heavenward, and will live godly in Christ Jesus, must expect to be set upon by Satan's temptations and terrors. He will not tamely part with any out of his service.
