Herod Archelaus in Wikipedia
(23 BC – c. 18 AD) was the ethnarch of Samaria, Judea, and
Edom from 4 BC to 6 AD. He was the son of Herod the Great and
Malthace, the brother of Herod Antipas, and the half-brother
of Herod Philip I.
Archelaus received the kingdom of Judea by the last will of
his father, though a previous will had bequeathed it to his
brother Antipas. He was proclaimed king by the army, but
declined to assume the title until he had submitted his claims
to Caesar Augustus in Rome. Before setting out, he quelled
with the utmost cruelty a sedition of the Pharisees, slaying
nearly three thousand of them. In Rome he was opposed by
Antipas and by many of the Jews, who feared his cruelty; but
in 4 BC Augustus allotted to him the greater part of the
kingdom (Samaria, Judea, and Idumea) with the title of
ethnarch until 6 AD when Judaea was brought under direct Roman
rule (see Census of Quirinius)...
