What King deposed Joseph the prime minister of old testament Egypt?

Answer 1

To my knowledge Joseph was not deposed by any king but died of old age. Here is a brief history of the Joseph I believe you are referring to.

Joseph. Son of Rachel, Jacob's second wife (Gen. 30:22-24; 37:3). An extensive account of his life is given in Gen. 37-50. The story is especially instructive in showing the discipline of misfortune and also that the Lord rewards his obedient children according to their faithfulness. The story of Joseph is also an illustration of the way in which God works in history, preserving his people. Joseph's valor in resisting the allurements of Potiphar's wife is an unequaled example of faith, chastity, and personal purity. His protection was his faith, as illustrated by his words: "How then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God" (Gen. 39:9). In the N.T. Joseph is mentioned only once (Heb. 11:21-22), as an example of faith.

Joseph obtained the birthright in Israel because he was worthy and because it was his natural right. When Reuben, the actual firstborn, lost the privilege by transgression (1 Chr. 5:1-2), Joseph, as the firstborn son of Jacob's second wife, was next in line for the blessing. Joseph was a visionary man, a dreamer and interpreter of dreams, "a man in whom the Spirit of God is" (Gen. 41:38).

Special blessings and prophecies on the head of Joseph and his posterity are found in Gen. 48:1-22; 49:1, 22-26; and Deut. 33:13-17. When Joseph died, in Egypt at age 110, he was embalmed; but, in keeping with his own previous request, he was kept from burial until Moses and the children of Israel took his bones to Canaan, to be buried near his father and other ancestors (Gen. 50:22-26; Ex. 13:19; Josh. 24:32).
