The King James Bible doesn't use the word "king" until chapter 14 of Genesis... around the time Abraham walked the earth.
The mystery and legend that surrounds the name "Nimrod," however, may well qualify him as a "king" in his day.
He is the first "world leader" mentioned in The Bible, following the flood. And to him is associated the establishment of a number of cities... and the first "kingdom" that would grow to become the world's first world-ruling empire: "Babylon."
The Bible doesn't go into detail regarding the pre-flood world. No one knows what kind of society(ies) they might have had... or how technologically advanced they may have been. We're only told that it was an extremely corrupt and violent society [Gen.6:11].
Jesus only tells us that the way the world was in Noah's day... the world shall revert to it again, just before He returns to earth with the Kingdom of God.
"...as the days of Noe were, so shall the coming of the Son of Man be." (Matt.24:37)
If we are living in that time, as the prophetic signs seem to indicate [and the world appears to be] -- there are plenty of "kings" to go around in this world... which would mean that the pre-flood world had plenty, also. Thus, pre-dating Nimrod as the first king of the Bible.
But, under the circumstances, certainly, Nimrod would have to be considered as the first king of the Bible, this side of the flood.
