The term king refers to the highest ruler or leader over a kingdom, which at that time was often just a city, a small region or a people group. Translate this with the best word for that in your language. Also see how you translated Shinar in Gen 10:10; 11:2. Alternate translation: “Amraphel was the ruler over” or “King Amraphel was ruling”
