Oct 30, 2023 at 16:57 comment added Dan Fefferman There are wikipedia articles on all of the Herods that I listed for corroboration. The three you mention are Herod the Great, Herod Antipas, and Herod Agrippa I . All three are indeed called simply Herod or King Herod, except that Revelation refers to "the days of Antipas." Herod Agrippa II is the Agrippa of Acts 25-26. In addition there is Herod Philip (Matthew 14:3) who was the brother of Antipas and first husband of Herodias. Herod Archelaus (Matthew 2:22) is the Herod that Joseph avoided when he decided to settle in Nazareth.

Oct 30, 2023 at 0:11 comment added Nigel J I am only aware of three Herods myself : the one who murdered children ; the one who murdered John the Baptist ; and the one who murdered the apostle James. I cannot corroborate your historical references. Scripture calls them all 'Herod' as far as I remember.
Oct 29, 2023 at 23:30 comment added Dan Fefferman Are you suggesting that unless a person is called "Herod"(a family name) we are not supposed to count them? There are actually five or six of them mentioned in the NT: Herod the Great, his sons Herod Archelaus and Herod Antipas, and his grandsons Herod Agrippa I and Herod Agrippa II. Herod Philip would make six.

Oct 29, 2023 at 19:41 comment added Nigel J All Herod had to do was to confess that the head of John the Baptist was worth more than half of his kingdom. Failing to rightly evaluate John and John's ministry, Herod, though desiring to see Jesus (Luke 9:9) never even saw him, much less was invited to follow him, after the rejection of John. A very important lesson to be learned. The three 'Herods' in scripture are not further identified : they are treated as a single entity with one - communal - character, much as the Pharisees are treated in scripture : a class of person characterised by behaviour, without integrity of individuality.
