3. The Pharaoh who made a league with Hezekiah against Sennacherib. He is called Tirhākah (2 _Kings_, xviii. 21; xix. 9). 4. Pharaoh Necho, who warred against Josiah (2 _Kings_ xxiii. 29, etc.). 5. Pharaoh Hophra, the ally of Zedekiah. Said to be Pharaoh Apries, who was strangled, B.C. 569-525 (_Jer._ xliv. 30). ⁂ Bunsen’s solution of the Egyptian dynasties cannot possibly be correct. _Pharaohs noted in romance:_ 1. Cheops, or Suphis I., who built the great pyramid (dynasty iv.). 2. Cephrenês, or Suphis II., his brother, who built the second pyramid. 3. Mencherês, his successor, who built the most beautiful, though not the largest, of the pyramids. 4. Memnon, or A-menophis III., whose musical statue is so celebrated (dynasty xviii.). 5. Sethos I. the Great, whose tomb was discovered by Belzoni (dynasty xix.). 6. Sethos II., called “Proteus,” who detained Helen and Paris in Egypt (dynasty xix.). 7. Phuōris or Thuōris, who sent aid to Priam in the siege of Troy. 8. Rampsinītus or Rameses Nēter, the miser, mentioned by Herodotus (dynasty xx.). 9. Osorthon IV. (or Osorkon), the Egyptian Herculês (dynasty xxiii.). =Pharaoh’s Daughter.= The daughter of Pharaoh, who brought up Moses, was Bathia. =Pharaoh’s Wife=, Asia, daughter of Mozâhem. Her husband cruelly tormented her because she believed in Moses. He fastened her hands and feet to four stakes, and laid a millstone on her as she lay in the hot sun with her face upwards; but angels shaded off the sun with their wings, and God took her, without dying, into Paradise.--Sale, _Al Korân_, lxvi. note. Among women, four have been perfect; Asia, wife of Pharaoh; Mary, daughter of Imràn; Khadîjah, daughter of Khowailed, Mahomet’s first wife; and Fâtima, Mahomet’s daughter.--Attributed to Mahomet. ⁂ There is considerable doubt respecting the Pharaoh meant--whether the Pharaoh, whose daughter adopted Moses, or the Pharaoh who was drowned in the Red Sea. The tale suits the latter king far better than it does the first.
