Both the Power of Herod and that of his father Antipater were based on allegiance to the Romans, who helped both men to attain and consolidate power. Herod's reliance on Roman support for his power earned him his reputation as a puppet king
Antipater was appointed chief minister of Judea because he has saved Julius Caesar's life in Egypt during his civil war against the Roman senate. Antipater made his sons Phasael and Herod his governors for Jerusalem and Galilee respectively. After the assassination of Julius Caesar, Antipater was forced to side with Caesar's assassins. Herod befriended Cassius, one of the leaders of Caesar's assassins, who fled to Syria. Herod befriended him. Cassius made him governor of Coele Syria and gave him a fleet and infantry and cavalry contingents. When Cassius was defeated in a civil war, Herod switched his allegiance to the victor, Mark Antony.
In 42 BC Herod defeated an attempt by Antigonus I to seize power. Antigonus was the son of Aristobulus I. The Romans first got involved in Judea in 63 BC when they were called in by two brothers Hyrcanus II and Aristobulus II who were fighting a civil war over who would succeed to the throne of Judea. The Romans favoured Hyrcanus II and turned Judea into a client state. Antigonus felt that the throne was his by right. He had tried to seize power in 57 7BC, but was defeated by the Roman governor of Syria. Antigonus sought the support of Jews who had anti-Roman sentiments.
In 40 BC, Antigonus allied with the Persians who invaded Judea and put him on the throne. Herod fled to Rome to plead with the Romans to restore him to power. The Roman senate appointed him king of the Jews. Herod returned to Galilee and within two years he took both Galilee and Judea with the help of Roman troops. He executed Antigonus

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.
