There were several Herod's that ruled in the region where Jesus lived and died. The first was Herod the Great mentioned in Matthew 2:1-16 and Luke 1:5. He was the one who ordered the death of infant boys aged two and under in an attempt to kill Jesus. After his death, his kingdom was divided into three districts by Rome. Herod Archelaus was over Judea, Herod Antipas ruled over Galilee and Peraea and Philip ruled areas east of the Jordan. In Matthew 2:22 Archelaus was mentioned as ruling over Judea after the death of his father, King Herod. The next Herod, Antipas was the one who killed John the Baptizer (Mark 14:3-12), sought to kill Jesus (Luke 13:31) and ultimately had a hand in the death of Jesus (Acts 4:27) Herod Agrippa I was the grandson of Herod the Great and is mentioned at Acts 12:1.

Yet it wasn't destroyed, as is evident from this verse. 12:20
Was Herod a good man?
There were several Herod's. The first was Herod the Great, who rebuilt the temple in Jerusalem and who ordered the slaughter of children in an attempt to destroy Jesus. (Mt 2:16; Lu 1:5) Obviously not a good person. Then there was Herod Archelaus and Herod Antipas, sons of Herod the Great, who were appointed over sections of their father's domain. (Mt 2:22) Antipas was a tetrarch, popularly referred to as "king," who ruled during Christ's three-and-a-half-year ministry and through the period up to Acts chapter 12. (Mr 6:14-17; Lu 3:1, 19, 20; 13:31, 32; 23:6-15; Ac 4:27; 13:1) After that, Herod Agrippa I, grandson of Herod the Great, was executed by God's angel after ruling for a short time. (Ac 12:1-6,18-23) His son, Herod Agrippa II, became ruler and reigned up to the time of the Jewish revolt against Rome.-Ac 23:35;25:13, 22-27; 26:1, 2, 19-32. Since these were politically involved, Christians who were politically neutral, were not popular among them, so generally they persecuted Christians. Also, the Romans were known for living immoral and deceitful lives. So, generally, "good"? No.
Who succeeded Herod after his death?
It depends on which one you mean.The name 'Herod', actually, is not one person….it is a family of Idumean (Edomite) political rulers (nominally 'under Law') who ruled over the Jews for a period of time, and fought against Jesus and his teachings,-Herod the Great was the son of Antipater II.He is noted for having rebuilt parts of the Temple at Jerusalem, and for the slaughter of boys 2 years old and younger at the time of Jesus' birth, in an attempt to kill the "King" he feared would challenge his kingship (Matthew 2:1-23- As prophesied many years earlier at Jeremiah 31:15 / Hosea 11:1)-Herod Antipas, the son of Herod the Great, inherited the rulership of Galilee and Perea (Matthew 14:9; Mark 6:14, 22+25-27). He built a city on the Sea of Galilee, named Tiberias, after the emperor(John 6:1+23) and he is especially well known for killing John the Baptizer because John spoke out against Antipas' adulterous relationship with Herodias (Matthew 14:3-12; Mark 6:17-29). He was the Herod that Jesus faced after going before Pilate (Luke 23:1-12)(Acts 4:27-29) . He was eventually banished to Gaul by Caesar and died in Spain.-Herod Agrippa I was the grandson of Herod the Great (half brother of Antipas) and was noted for persecuting Christians and killing James (Acts 12:1+2) . Historians feel that Agrippa I died at 54 years old around 44 CE, after ruling ALL of Judea for three years. His daughters Bernice, Drusilla (wife of Gov. Felix), and Mariamne III outlived him( Acts 24:24)(Acts 25:13) and he was succeeded by his son, Agrippa II.-Herod Agrippa II- son of Agrippa I. He carried on a incestuous relationship with his sister, Bernice, and eventually married her, causing much scandal. He listened to a case involving the Apostle Paul when visiting Festus in Rome (Acts 25:13-26:32), and died childless in Rome around 100CE after the destruction of Jerusalem.-Herod Philip, was not a ruler, but was passed over for rulership, and mentioned briefly as the former husband of Herodias whose daughter danced before Antipas , having John the Baptizer beheaded. (Matthew 14:3; Mark 6:17, 18; and Luke 3:19).-Philip the Tetrarch, Son of Herod the Great and Cleopatra, and husband of Salome (daughter of Herod Philip and Herodias), who was most probably the daughter who danced for Antipas, mentioned earlier. He's alluded to only once scripturally(Luke3:1) .
