[Avodah] "VaYakom Melekh Hadash al Mitzrayim..." Self-hatred

[Richard Wolberg]

Interestingly, "VaYakom Melekh Hadash al Mitzrayim..." could be  
translated as "A new king arose against Egypt..."  In other words  
Pharaoh was his and his people's own worst enemy.

Regarding the famous machlokess between Rav and Shmuel: Was it mamesh  
a new king or was it the old one who made as if he didn't know Yosef?   
The fact that the Torah doesn't mention the king died, would indicate  
that it was the same king.
