abstract
  • At the time of his death Herod ruled over most of Palestine, and territories beyond the Jordan, as a client-state of the Roman Empire; after his death the kingdom was divided between three of his sons. * Archelaus, his son by his fourth wife Malthace, received the lion's share of the kingdom; Idumaea, Judaea and Samaria, and the title of Ethnarch ("ruler of the people"; in this case, the Jews). * Herod Antipas, Archelaus’ brother, became Tetrarch of Galilee and Perea. * Philip, Herod’s son by his fifth wife Cleopatra of Jerusalem, became Tetrarch of the northern part of Herod’s kingdom. Luke the evangelist lists Philip’s territories as Iturea and Trachonitis: Josephus gives his territories variously as Batanea, Gaulanitis, Trachonitis and Paneas ( Antiquities XVII, 8 : 1) and Batanea, Trachonitis, Auranitis, and "a certain part of what is called the House of Zenodorus" (Ant XVII , 11 : 4). A number of these names refer to the same places; they are all to be found now in modern-day Syria and Lebanon. In a turbulent period of history, the rule of the tetrarchs was relatively uneventful. The most trouble fell to Archelaus, who was faced with sedition by the Pharisees at the beginning of his reign, and crushed it with great severity. After ruling for 10 years he was removed by the emperor Augustus in AD 6, following complaints about his cruelty and his offences against the Mosaic law. He was replaced by a Roman procurator, and his territory re-organized as the Roman province of Iudaea. Philip ruled Ituraea and Trachonitis until his death in 34 when he was succeeded as tetrarch by Herod Agrippa I, who had previously been ruler of Chalcis. Agrippa surrendered Chalcis to his brother Herod III and ruled in Philip’s stead. On the death of Herod Antipas in 39 Herod Agrippa became ruler of Galilee also, and in 41, as a mark of favour by the emperor Claudius, succeeded the Roman prefect Marulus as ruler of Iudaea. With this acquisition, the kingdom of the Jews was re-established, and the Tetrarchy was at an end.
