SOPHIA OF WISDOM III
.
- 5 BC – Antipater was brought before the court charged with the intended murder of Herod. Herod, by now seriously
ill, named his son (Herod) Antipas (from his fourth marriage with Malthace) as his successor.
- 4 BC – Young disciples smashed the golden eagle over the main entrance of the Temple of Jerusalem after the
Pharisee teachers claimed it was an idolatrous Roman symbol. Herod arrested them, brought them to court, and sentenced them.
Augustus approved the death penalty for Antipater. Herod then executed his son, and again changed his will: Archelaus (from the marriage with Malthace) would rule as king over Herod's entire kingdom, while Antipas (by Malthace) and Philip (from the fifth marriage with Cleopatra of Jerusalem) would rule as Tetrarchs over Galilee and Peraea (Transjordan), also over Gaulanitis (Golan), Trachonitis (Hebrew: Argob), Batanaea (now Ard-el-Bathanyeh) and Panias. As Augustus did not confirm his will, no one got the title of King; however, the three sons did get the stated territories.
