Old Testament god is not benevolent. They are based on ideals from a time where the natural thing to do after winning a war was to kill everyone of fighting age and take everyone else (especially the women) as slaves. Ever wonder how Moses' people got to Egypt in the first place?
Old testament god is a god of war and wrath. Killing only the Pharaohs would have been weakness.
It's worth noting that Yahweh is the dirty of the Israelites at a time when basically everyone (including the Israelites) were henotheistic and basically claimed "my god is the best god" rather than "my god is the ONLY god".
