A kingdom of Israel at the time attributed to the birth of Jesus no longer existed. The southern state of Judah, known to the Romans as Judea, was the homeland of the Jews and had gradually expanded since the time of the Maccabeans to include the former territory of Israel. Matthew's Gospel says that Jesus was born during the reign of King Herod the Great, Luke's Gospel dates it to ten years after Herod's death. There are differing opinions as to the discrepancy. Herod was an Idumean and was imposed on Judea by Roman military might, one reason that he was very unpopular among the Jews.
