Yet Another Eclipse for Herod The best answer seems to be Martin's: Herod's sons reckoned their reigns from the beginning of his son Antipater's regency with him about 4 B.C., which began either when Antipater was named heir to the throne or later at the death of Herod's two royal sons. Herod was the only king until the day he died, but he let Antipater rule with him and handle many of the public affairs. The principal conclusion is that Herod died in early A.D. 1 because the December 29, 1 B.C. eclipse was the most likely to have been widely observed, and all of the historical evidence can be explained by the one simple hypothesis that Josephus was not aware that Herod's successors had antedated their reigns. www.johnpratt.com /items/docs/herod/herod.html   (4383 words)

Domestic Problems Herod sent him to Rome and designated in his will that Antipater was his successor to the throne and in the event that Antipater's death might occur before his own, Herod (Philip), son of Mariamne II, the high priest's daughter, was named as his successor. Salome and Pheroras (brother of Herod and Salome) reported to Herod that his life was in danger because the two sons were not going to leave the murder of their mother unavenged and that Archelaus, king of Cappadocia (father of Glaphyra), would help them to reach the emperor and bring charges against their father. Herod again changed his mind and nominated Archelaus, the older son of Malthace, as king and his brothers Antipas as tetrarch of Galilee and Perea and Philip as tetrarch of Gaulanitis, Trachonitis, Batanea, and Paneas. www.bible-history.com /herod_the_great/HERODDomestic_Problems.htm   (1778 words)

Herod the Great - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Herod was the second son of Antipater the Idumaean, founder of the Herodean dynasty, and his wife Cypros, a Nabatean princess from Petra, Jordan. Herod is known for being a ruthless ruler, but he was also an able and far-sighted administrator who helped in building the economic might of Judaea, founding cities and developing agricultural projects, the most famous project involving rebuilding of the Jewish Temple in Jerusalem. Because Herod's death is established to have occurred at latest in 1 B.C. and because Christ was born before Herod died, the traditional date of Christ's birth and the start of the Common era is incorrect. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Herod_the_Great   (745 words)

The intervention of Rome, occasioned by the strife between the sons of Alexandra, was momentarily fatal to the Sanhedrin in so far as the Roman proconsul Gabinius, by instituting similar assemblies at Gadara, Jericho, Amathonte, and Sapphora, limited the jurisdiction of the gerousía of Jerusalem to the city and the neighbouring district (57 Of one of these men, Gamaliel, we find mention in Acts, v, 34; but even though he is said to have played a leading part in the circumstances referred to there, he is not spoken of as president of the assembly. www.catholicity.com /encyclopedia/s/sanhedrin.html   (1912 words)
