Using the popular titles, "King Lear" and "King John" start with the word "King". However, these titles are not necessarily the titles which the plays were known by. The title on the title page of the Quarto version of King Lear is actually "Mr. William Shake-speare, his true chronicle history of the life and death of king lear and his three daughters, with the unfortunate life of Edgar, son and heir of the Earl of Gloster and his sullen and assumed humour of Tom of Bedlam"; the Folio title is "The Tragedie of King Lear."
The Folio title for King John is "The Life and Death of King John." The folio also has "The Famous History of the life of King Henry the Eight", and "The Life and Death of King Richard the Second.", which both contain the word "king".
