However, the concept of foreign alliances and political intrigue can be seen in various Greek terms related to governance and diplomacy.<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>The term "So" refers to a king of Egypt mentioned in the Hebrew Bible. He is noted for his interactions with the northern kingdom of Israel during the 8th century BCE. The name appears in the context of political alliances and military strategies.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>During the 8th century BCE, the geopolitical landscape of the Near East was characterized by the rise and fall of empires and the shifting allegiances of smaller states. Egypt, under the rule of the 22nd and 23rd dynasties, was a significant power, though its influence was waning. King So, identified with Osorkon IV, was one of the rulers during this period. The northern kingdom of Israel, seeking to resist Assyrian domination, looked to Egypt for support, reflecting the complex diplomatic maneuvers of the time.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>of foreign origin<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>an Eg. king<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>so (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">סוֺא</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>proper name, masculine</b></font> (<font class="hebrew2">ᵐ5</font> <font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">Ζηγωρ</font>, A <font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">Ζωα</font>, <font class="hebrew2">ᵐ5</font><sup>L</sup> <font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">Αδραμελεξ τὸν Αἰθίοπα τὸν κατοικοῦντα ἔ Αἰγύπτῳ</font> (!); Jos<sup>Ant. ix. 14</sup>, 1 <font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">Ζωαν</font>; <font class="hebrew2">ᵑ9</font> <em>Sua</em>; all accusative), called <font class="hebrew2">מֶלֶךְ מִצְרַיִם</font> <a href="/interlinear/2_kings/17-4.htm">2 Kings 17:4</a>, with whom Hoshea had intrigue; possibly= <i><em>Šab-°-ê</em></i>, or <i><em>Sib-°-ê</em></i> mentioned by Sargon (KB<sup>ii.54.1.25.26</sup> COT<sup>on the passage</sup>) as a ruler (apparently) under <i><em>Pir°u</em></i> king of <i><em>Muƒuri</em></i>; hence Schr<sup>COT 1.c.</sup> proposes to read <font class="hebrew2">סֶוֶא</font>, and, further, identify. <i><em>Šab-°-ê</em></i> = <font class="hebrew2">סֶוֶא</font> with <i><em>Šabaku</em></i>, founder of 25th (Ethiop.) dynasty, compare Wied<sup>Äg.
