Herod Philip

Herod Philip is not a term that contemporaries would have recognized. Some modern writers use it to refer to refer to two children of Herod the Great:

  • Herod II (or 'Herod Philip I'), by Herod's third marriage, husband of Herodias
  • Philip the Tetrarch (or 'Herod Philip II'), by Herod's sixth marriage, husband of Salome

Famous quotes containing the word herod:

    I forsak the, Kyng Herowdes, and thi werkes alle;
    Ther is a chyld in Bedlem born is beter than we alle.’
    —Unknown. St. Stephen and King Herod (l. 6–8)
