The king got his war chariot and army ready.
When the king of Egypt heard that the Israelites had finally left, he and his officials changed their minds and said, “Look what we have done! We let them get away, and they will no longer be our slaves.”
He commanded his officers in charge of his six hundred best chariots and all his other chariots to start after the Israelites.
He threw the chariots and army of Egypt's king into the Red Sea, and he drowned the best of the king's officers.
