After the death of King Herod the Great in 4 BCE his kingdom was apportioned among his sons: Archelaus received Judea, Samaria and Idumaea; Antipas received Galilee; Philip received the territory east of Jordan.
Herod was 70 years old when he died. Although he had a will that would make his son Antipas the next king, he changed it making Archelaus the next king. Although Antipas contested this, Augustus Casesar upheld the appointment, but later split the kingdom between Archelaus and two of Herod's sons, Antipas and Philip.

After King Herod died in April 4 BCE, his Palestinian kingdom was divided among his sons, with Archelaus getting Judea and Samaria.

John the Baptist would have been buried in an anonymous grave by an unknown labourer under the command of Herod's soldiers.
King Herod, his brother's wife Herodias, and her daughter were involved in John the Baptist's death. Herodias' daughter performed a sensual dance to please King Herod, and he promised her anything that she wanted.
