So (king of Egypt)
소 (애굽 왕)
Named at 2 Kings 17:4 as king of Egypt. At 17:3 Shalmaneser king of Assyria comes up against Hoshea (WEB reads “against him”; the Korean Revised Version names Hoshea, 호세아를 친고로), and Hoshea becomes his servant and brings him tribute; 17:4 says, “The king of Assyria discovered a conspiracy in Hoshea; for he had sent messengers to So king of Egypt, and offered no tribute to the king of Assyria, as he had done year by year. Therefore the king of Assyria seized him, and bound him in prison.” The Korean Revised Version tells first that Hoshea sent messengers to So king of Egypt (저가 애굽 왕 소에게 사자들을 보내고) and then that the king of Assyria saw his betrayal.
