   1. Herod the Great (ruled 37-4 B.C.): Christmas event King; tried to trick the three wise men from the Tribe of Magi in Mede (East of today’s Iran)
      1. Herod the Great’s kingdom was between his sons
   1.  Herod Archelaus (ruled 4 B.C.-A.D. 6): Joseph was unwilling to move Mary and toddler Jesus to Bethlehem after fleeing to Egypt because Bethlehem was in Herod’s territory. Archelaus ordered the killing of all Hebrew babies aged two and under.

   1. Herod Philip the Tetrarch (ruled 4 B.C.-A.D. 34): Married his niece, Salome, the daughter of Herodias (Herod Antipas’s wife-of-sin).
   1. Herod Agrippa I (ruled A.D. 37-44; 41-44 over all of Judea): In the book of Acts he is known as the one who put Peter in prison (Acts 12:1-5) … although he couldn’t keep him there (Acts 12:6-19)!

   1. Herod Agrippa II (ruled A.D. 50s until long after the end of the Jewish war; he died around A.D. 93): Great-grandson to Herod the Great. He questioned Paul then Paul appealed to Caesar in Rome. Paul was a Roman citizen.
