The term "king of Egypt" is a noun phrase, a group of words (without a verb) based on a noun (king).

A noun phrase functions the same as a noun, as the subject of a sentence or a clause, and as the objectof a verb or a preposition.

Examples:

A king of Egypt built those pyramids. (subject of the sentence)

The pyramid that the king of Egypt built is still here today. (subject of the relative clause)

They called a king of Egypt a pharaoh. (direct object of the verb 'called')

Its a palace fit for a king of Egypt. (object of the preposition 'for')
