Comment: King Herod is correct, but which one?
After Herod the Great died, he's the one that was alive when Jesus was born, then his kingdom was split three ways. One part, Judea was given to Herod Archelaus. This Herod was to be king over all Israel like his father, but Rome objected and he was granted only one part of the kingdom.
Another son, Herod Philip II ruled the area north of Galilee (Luke 3:1) and Herod Antipas ruled Galilee and Perea. It was Herod Antipas who had John the Baptist beheaded.
Herod the Great is the king that ordered the male children in Bethlehem to be killed who were two years and younger. (Matthew 2:16-18). At this time an angel warned Joseph to flee to Egypt. Then when Herod the Great died in 4 B.C. an angel told Joseph to take his family back home. But on the way back to Israel God warned Joseph about Herod Archelaus in Judea and so Joseph turned toward Galilee and bypassed Judea (Matthew 2:19-23).
Herod Archelaus was a rotten ruler and in 6 A.D. (corrected chronology), which was his tenth year of rule he was exiled to Gaul (France) where he died later.
So the answer to your question is Herod the Great.

In what year BC did Joseph go to Egypt?
Joseph fled Israel after the death of Jesus for his safety, because Herod was persecuting Christians. he came back to israel after the death of king Herod, where he continued his work as carpenter, and died in later years. This question, however, specifically refers to what is described in Matthew 2:13-20 (for which a link is provided). As Herod died in 4 B.C.E. and this precipitated Joseph and Mary's return to the Land of Israel, It is likely that the trip to Egypt occurred within a year or two of this date. (This assumes that the Biblical Event is an actual historical event.)

Does Joseph Isaacs son Joseph have daughters?
If you're talking about the figures in the Biblical book of Genesis, then let's back up a few generations and try to get it straight: -- Abraham migrated to Israel late in his life. His children included his son Isaac. -- Isaac lived his whole life in Israel. His children included his son Jacob. -- Jacob left Israel, worked for his uncle for 20 years, and returned to Israel. He had 12 sons and one daughter. Joseph was one of the sons. Dina was the daughter. Joseph was forcibly taken to Egypt as a teen-ager. Years later, Jacob and the rest of his family migrated to Egypt during a famine. All of them died there. Their descendants left to return to Israel only after another 230 years, and only a few of them completed the return trip. -- Joseph had two sons: Ephraim and Menassah. There were no daughters. The sons were born, lived, and died in Egypt.
