The author is using to cry out to the king as a common expression of his culture to mean “to make a formal appeal to the king” or “to petition the king.” If this phrase does not have that meaning for your readers, you could use a comparable expression from your language that does have that meaning, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [to appeal to the king]
