I submit that any literate Jew before, let's say 200 AD, and, of course, any Samaritan would have read the MLK, "king", in line one. And remember, the Jews were, in addition to Palaeo-Hebrew, also writing Jewish Hebrew (aka square script) for the 700 years leading up to 200AD. Respectfully, Dean A.
