* Herod.
This was Herod Antipas, the son of Herod the Great, by
Malthace, and tetrarch of Galilee and Per(9161), which produced a
revenue of 200; talents a year. He married the daughter of
Aretas, king of Arabia, whom he divorced in order to marry
Herodias, the wife of his brother Philip, who was still
living. Aretas, to revenge the affront which Herod had
offered his daughter, declared war against him, and vanquished
him after an obstinate engagement. This defeat, Josephus
assures us, the Jews considered as a punishment for the death
of John the Baptist. Having gone to Rome to solicit the title
of king, he was accused by Agrippa of carrying on a
correspondence with Artabanus king of Parthia, against the
Romans, and was banished by the emperor Caius to Lyons, and
thence to Spain, where he and Herodias died in exile.
