a new king] Acts 7:18. whom some Historians call Mephis, some Ramesses, some Armesesnianus, some Amonophis, or Amenoptes: but as this King knew not Joseph, though dead not much above fiftie yeares before him, so may this King well be unknown to Writers, which were many hundreds of years, in time behind him: and he might be called a new King, because he was of another race, or family, from the former, or for that he took up a new way of government, or had new devices to bring about the Innovations he had designed.
