they were dead: Exodus 14:30, 1 Chronicles 5:22, Psalms 110:6, Isaiah 37:36, Jeremiah 33:5

none escaped: Heb. there was not an escaping, Ezra 9:14

Reciprocal: Exodus 14:28 - remained Psalms 46:8 - desolations

Gill's Notes on the Bible

When Judah came towards the watch tower in the wilderness,.... Which might stand upon the hill or cliff of Ziz, for the sake of the direction of travellers, and the preservation of them from thieves and robbers:

they looked unto the multitude; which they could take a view of from the top of the hill:

and behold, they were dead bodies fallen to the earth, and none escaped; all to a man slain, there was not one to be seen standing on his feet.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The march of Judah from Jerusalem would take five or six hours. By the time they reached the watch-towers in the wilderness of Jeruel all was over.
