I know that the coming messiah is referred to as a servant. I’m just wondering if it ever explicitly states Him as a king. Please cite specific verses.
Do the servant songs of Isaiah ever refer to the messiah as a king?

The word combo "Messiah & King" do not appear in scripture
However:
Isa 32:1 Behold, a king shall reign in righteousness, and princes shall rule in judgment.
Isa 33:22 For the LORD [is] our judge, the LORD [is] our lawgiver, the LORD [is] our king; he will save us.
Isa 43:15 I [am] the LORD, your Holy One, the creator of Israel, your King.
Isa 44:6 Thus saith the LORD the King of Israel, and his redeemer the LORD of hosts; I [am] the first, and I [am] the last; and beside me [there is] no God.
Then note what Jesus says about Himself later in Revelation:
Rev 1:17 And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last:
Rev 22:13 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.
