<p> Son of Herod the Great by Malthace a Samaritan. He succeeded his father in the tetrarchy of [[Galilee]] and Peraea. This was he whom the Lord called 'that fox.' He heard John the [[Baptist]] 'gladly,' yet put him to death. He was present at [[Jerusalem]] when the Lord was before Pilate, and by the courtesy of [[Pilate]] they settled their difference; but he treated the Lord with brutal indignity. He had married a daughter of [[Aretas]] king of Arabia, but subsequently induced [[Herodias]] the wife of Philip, his own half-brother, to leave her husband and live with him. This led to the death of John the Baptist by her desire, as recorded in scripture; and also to his being attacked and defeated with great loss by Aretas. Prompted by Herodias, he sought from the emperor [[Caligula]] the title of king (which did not belong to him though so called in Mark 6:14 ), but this ambition led to his perpetual banishment, | <p> Son of Herod the Great by Malthace a Samaritan.

Herodias voluntarily accompanied him. </p> | ||
