He married the daughter of the Nabatean King Aretas IV. He then divorced her in order to marry Herodias, who was the daughter of his late half-brother, Aristobulos. She also had been married earlier to another half-brother, Herod Philip. John the Baptist spoke out against Herod Antipas for this marriage, and for other things that he had done wrong. Because of his outspokenness, Herodias wanted to have John killed in revenge. Herod Antipas put John in prison and eventually beheaded him, at the request of Herodias. Later, Jesus was sent to Herod Antipas after his arrest by Pontius Pilate. Jesus refused to answer his questions and Herod mocked Him and sent him back to Pilate. Later, Herod Antipas was accused by his rival, Herod Agrippa I, of plotting against Rome. In 39 AD, he was banished to Lyons in Gaul by Emperor Caligula. Herodias went with him.
- Herod Antipas grew up in an unusual household where you didn't know if your father was going to provide you with love or instant death. Herod the Great was perhaps one of those people who wasn't really suited to be a dad. A homicidal monarch yes - a father no. Perhaps it isn't surprising that in his own later life Herod Antipas had no interest in starting his own family, perhaps he feared he would kill his own children or keep an ex-wife in jars of shredded marmalade. It was a wise choice. When Herod the Great died in around 4 BC, the surviving members of the family were brought together for the reading of the will by their aunt Anticyclonia Salome The non-dancing one. When she opened the box, Salome was surprised to see Herod the Great had written about six different wills. Only this one seemed to make sense:-
* Herod Archelaus: My socks.
* Herod Antipas: My best socks.
* Herod Herod. High Priest Job and Keys to the Smallest Room at the Temple.
* Herod Philip. Ermmm...who was he again ?
* Herod Herod Herod Etcetera Etcetera Etcetera Look! I got bored my boys.. ...and so on with an annex requesting the women clean the dishes once the wake was over. If there was no agreement in 40 days, Herod would leave his kingdom to the 'Home for Old Asses' in Samaria. Not unexpectedly, there was fist fight and the throwing of expensive plates as the brothers tried to tear each others arms off. Salome eventually told everyone to calm down and suggested they all head to Rome for a second opinion regarding Herod's real intentions. Charging his usual fees (everyone's weight in gold) for his expert opinion , Emperor Augustus invited all the Herod clan round to dinner. In addition to the family members arriving from Judea, there were other Herodians living in Rome including the children of Herod's oldest son Antipater who had 'officially' choked on a sword a few months earlier before his father's demise. Antpater's brood were called Herod Agrippa, Herod of Chalkis and Herodias who had bumps on her chest and was therefore usually classified as a girl. All were to have important roles in Herod Antipas's life later on. The shrewd Roman emperor soon figured out Herod Archelaus was a common psychopath, Herod Herod too confusing and Herod Philip a wuss (or worse, he had just declared his love for 11 year old Herodias). Herod Antipas seemed to fall in the middle in this range so Augustus gave him a certificate, a water clock and a cheque book to run Galilee as a 'Tetrarch', a bit of a nonsense title as it seemed to be everything or nothing. Herod Antipas decided to take it anyway - though with a proviso that he was under no obligation to host the Happy Holidays festival in December for the annual family gathering.
