It goes back farther than that. It goes back to Jacob and Esau and their uncle Ishmael. It was the descendants of Esau's grandson, Amalek, (the Amalekites) who attacked the Israelites as they were coming out of Egypt. That happened over 3400 years ago. During the time of Jesus and the Romans, the Harod kings were descendants of Esau. The Israelites didn't appreciate being ruled by their antagonistic, "Jewish-in-name-only" 'relatives' much less the Roman 'foreigners.'
