Verse 31. - And these (which follow) are the kings that reigned in the land of Edom, before there reigned any (literally, before the reigning of a) king over (or, to) the children of Israel.

From a historical perspective, the crux of this question comes down to dating the exodus event (so that we can identify the Pharaoh in question). The most common date suggested for this event is around 1250 BC. The reason for this is Exodus 1:11 saying that the Hebrew slaves helped build Ramesses (believed to be the city Pi-Ramesses because no city just called Ramesses ever existed). Pi-Ramesses, which means "House of Ramesses", was founded about the mid-13th century BC. Additionally, the land of Israel is identified on a late 13th century BC stele erected by the Egyptian Pharaoh Merneptah. Therefore, it is believed that the exodus would have been between these two events (building the cities, being mentioned in their own land).
If 1250 BC is close to the date, then the Pharaoh would have been Ramesses II. He did not die in the sea. His mummy is in Cairo's Egyptian Museum. His son Merneptah's mummy was unwrapped in 1907. His father Seti I's mummy is also at Cairo's Egyptian Museum. Therefore, it is unlikely that any Pharaoh associated with Israel drowned in the sea.
Furthermore, it is also unlikely that the exodus event occurred the way it is told anyway. There are dozens of reasons for this. To name just a few...
This anachronism points to the fact that this story was written much later than the event it purports to tell. If that is the case, then it makes much more sense how the details of the story came to be exaggerated. In pre-literary societies, transmission of history is done by Oral Tradition (stories told by each generation to the next). If you've ever played the "telephone game," then you know how quickly stories change when told over and over again.

Think of it like this, if Moses wrote the Torah around 3500 years ago and the earliest manuscripts we have in possession goes back 200BC how many year is the gap between the DDS manuscripts and Moses? About 1300 years! Ask yourself could you possibly believe the Torah which has a 1300 year gap the exact same as the one Moses wrote?
If the TABLETS written by the hands of God went missing, what makes you think the Torah you have which has no chain of narration still be original.

I do not believe in the Bible the Christians and Jews follow why? Because the current Torah and gospels proceeded neither from God nor from any prophet; in fact. It cannot even be deemed the word of a wise or well- informed author. It is without a doubt the work of some impious person, false and mocking. The only other explanation is that the author was an imbecile simpleton, unlearned in arithmetic, astronomy, geography, and theology, and unreflective in his own writing.

The Gemara continues: Come and hear: Beloreya the convert once asked Rabban Gamliel: It is written in your Torah: “The great, mighty, and awesome God who favors no one” (Deuteronomy 10:17), and elsewhere it is written: “The Lord shall show favor to you and give you peace” (Numbers 6: 26). How can this contradiction be resolved?

King Ahaz was 11 years old when he became a father
Twenty years old was Ahaz when he began to reign, and reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem, and did not that which was right in the sight of the Lord his God, like David his father. (2 Kings 16:2)
20 And Ahaz slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David: and Hezekiah his son reigned in his stead. (2 Kings 16:20)
Note after Ahaz his son Hezekiah succeeded him
1Now it came to pass in the third year of Hoshea son of Elah king of Israel, that Hezekiah the son of Ahaz king of Judah began to reign.
2 Twenty and five years old was he when he began to reign; and he reigned twenty and nine years in Jerusalem. His mother's name also was Abi, the daughter of Zachariah. (2 Kings 18:1-2)
Ahaz was thirty-six years old when he died. His twenty-five-year-old son Hezekiah succeeded him. Thus, Ahaz was a ten or eleven-year-old father.
The question is, how old was his wife if he was 11?
