When did King Herod the Great conquer Jerusalem?

On the death of Herod the Great in the year of our Lord's birth, his son Herod Antipas became tetrarch of Galilee, and reigned until A.D. 39, when he was banished by the Emperor Caligula. Galilee then came under the rule of Herod Agrippa I, who died in A.D. 44.

Who was the king of the Jews under the Romans?

In 41 BCE, Herod was made tetrarch over the Roman territories in Palestine, but he lost Palestine to the Parthians about a year later. In 38 BCE Rome made Herod king of the Idumaeans and Samaritans. He recaptured Jerusalem in 37 BCE, thus becoming king of the Jews. In 30 BCE, he was also given control of Samaria, Jericho and the coast. So Herod the Great had become king of a huge territory that included both Jews and Gentiles, with a range of ethnic groups.After Herod's death in 4 BCE, Rome split the kingdom among his three sons, with Archelaus getting Judea, Samaria and Idumaea. King Archelaus was a particularly unpopular king and, in 6 BCE, Rome deposed him and made Judea a province under a Roman governor.

Who was the king of israel when jesus was born?

A:The simple answer would be that Herod the Great was king when Jesus was born, as the Gospels of Matthew and Luke both agree on this. However, the Gospel of Luke also says that Jesus was born during the census of Qurinius, governor of Syria. The problem here is that Herod died in 4 BCE, while Qurinius was appointed in 6 CE, ten year later, with instructions to conduct a census in Judea. This was the only census under Qurinius, and the first to be conducted by Rome in the Levant, but it also took place at a time when there was no longer a king in Judea. The explanation is, as John Shelby Spong (Born of a Woman: A Bishop Rethinks the Birth of Jesus) informs us, that the nativity stories do not contain any historical truth.


Joseph and Mary return to Israel after who died?

king herodComment: King Herod is correct, but which one?After Herod the Great died, he's the one that was alive when Jesus was born, then his kingdom was split three ways. One part, Judea was given to Herod Archelaus. This Herod was to be king over all Israel like his father, but Rome objected and he was granted only one part of the kingdom.Another son, Herod Philip II ruled the area north of Galilee (Luke 3:1) and Herod Antipas ruled Galilee and Perea. It was Herod Antipas who had John the Baptist beheaded.Herod the Great is the king that ordered the male children in Bethlehem to be killed who were two years and younger. (Matthew 2:16-18). At this time an angel warned Joseph to flee to Egypt. Then when Herod the Great died in 4 B.C. an angel told Joseph to take his family back home. But on the way back to Israel God warned Joseph about Herod Archelaus in Judea and so Joseph turned toward Galilee and bypassed Judea (Matthew 2:19-23).Herod Archelaus was a rotten ruler and in 6 A.D. (corrected chronology), which was his tenth year of rule he was exiled to Gaul (France) where he died later.So the answer to your question is Herod the Great.

What horrible thing did Herod do to Jesus?

A:In Matthew's Gospel, King Herod sought to have Jesus killed, forcing Joseph to flee with Mary and Jesus to Egypt. When Herod had died, they felt it safe to return to their home in Bethlehem but, being warned in a dream, turned aside and travelled north to Galilee, where they settled in a city called Nazareth. In Luke's Gospel, King Herod had no interest in Jesus. After his birth, the young family was free to go to the temple in Jerusalem, Herod's capital city, and then travel peacefully to Nazareth, which was already their home town. They even returned each year for the Passover.
