Herod . This was Herod Antipas , the son of Herod the Great , by Malthace , and tetrarch of Galilee and Perea , 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.
