Simply transcribe the hieroglyphs according to the table of sound values.
Remember, you always read hieroglyphs that are in columns from top to bottom. But in which order do you read the columns? The rule is that hieroglyphs are read starting from the direction in which the human or animal figures are looking or pointing. If they are looking or pointing to the right, then you should read from the right to the left.
The ancient Egyptians often omitted vowels and the sound values are not exactly the same as those we have in English. So you will need to be flexible when interpreting the hieroglyphs.
The king in question is English, not Egyptian.
