There are several men in the New Testament referred to as “Herod.” These Herods were part of a dynasty, a partly hereditary, partly appointed line of Idumean rulers over Israel during the days of the Roman Empire. Unlike other previous kings of Israel, the Herods were appointed by the Roman emperors and the senate. We discuss the four most prominent Herods: Herod the Great, Herod Antipas, Herod Agrippa I, and Agrippa II.
Scriptures referenced include Matthew 2:1-18; Luke 1:5; Acts 12; Acts 24; Acts 25; Acts 26.
