Saint James the Greater died by being stabbed with a sword by King Herod Agrippa I in the year 44 at Jerusalem.
Agrippa was the grandson of King Herod the Great, who had been king of Judea prior to 4 BCE. Agrippa was made king of all his grandfather's domains in 41 CE and ruled until the year 44. As king, he was careful to observe Jewish customs and performed a number of services for which he is recognised with gratitude by Jewish sources.

King Herod the Great .
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.
In the year 37 BCE.
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.
AnswerHerod the Great ruled as king in Jerusalem from 37 to 4 BCE.
There were several Herod's. The first was Herod the Great, who rebuilt the temple in Jerusalem and who ordered the slaughter of children in an attempt to destroy Jesus. (Mt 2:16; Lu 1:5) Obviously not a good person. Then there was Herod Archelaus and Herod Antipas, sons of Herod the Great, who were appointed over sections of their father's domain. (Mt 2:22) Antipas was a tetrarch, popularly referred to as "king," who ruled during Christ's three-and-a-half-year ministry and through the period up to Acts chapter 12. (Mr 6:14-17; Lu 3:1, 19, 20; 13:31, 32; 23:6-15; Ac 4:27; 13:1) After that, Herod Agrippa I, grandson of Herod the Great, was executed by God's angel after ruling for a short time. (Ac 12:1-6,18-23) His son, Herod Agrippa II, became ruler and reigned up to the time of the Jewish revolt against Rome.-Ac 23:35;25:13, 22-27; 26:1, 2, 19-32. Since these were politically involved, Christians who were politically neutral, were not popular among them, so generally they persecuted Christians. Also, the Romans were known for living immoral and deceitful lives. So, generally, "good"? No.
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.
year 22 was known as the YEAR OF THE CONSULSHIP OF AGRIPPA AND GALBA
