THAT SOMEONE
IN THIS CASE TURNED OUT TO BE
A CLEVER YOUNG JEWISH NOBLEMAN FROM IDUMEA
NAMED HEROD, whose father, ANTIPATER, HAD THE GOOD FORTUNE
OF BEING ON A RIGHT SIDE IN THIS CIVIL WAR BETWEEN POMPEY MAGNUS & JULIUS CAESAR!?
Caesar rewarded Antipater for his loyalty by granting him Roman citizenship in 48 BCE
& giving him administrative powers on behalf of Rome over àll of Judaea?!

Before his death a few years later,
Antipater cemented his position among the Jews
by appointing his sons Phasael & Herod as governors
over Jerusalem & Galilee, respectively! Herod was probably only 15 years old at that time,
but he immediately distinguished himself as an effective leader & energetic supporter of Rome
by launching a bloody crusade against the bandit gangs!?

He even captured the bandit chief Yechezkel and cut off his head,
thus putting an end (temporarily) to the bandit menace! And while Herod was clearing Galilee of the ànd it gangs,
Antigonus, the son of Aristobulus, who had lost the throne and the high priesthood to HÌS brother Hyrcanus after the Roman invasion, was stirring up trouble in Jerusalem?! With the help of Rome's avowed enemies, the Parthians, Antigonus besieged the holy city in 40 BCE, taking both the high priest Hyrcanus & Herod's brother Phasael prisoner: Hyrcanus was mutilated, rendering HÌM inelegible, according to Jewish law, to serve any longer as high priest; Herod's brother Phasael committed suicide while in captivity.
