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) .
