Summary
[edit]DescriptionPalestine in the time of Agrippa I (Smith, 1915).jpg |
English: In 37 and 40 A.D., Herod Agrippa I, son of Aristobulus son of Herod the Great, received from Caligula the tetrarchies of Philip, Lysanias and Herod Antipas, with the title of king; and in 42, from Claudius, Judaea and Samaria, which he held till his death in 44, their administration by Procurators being interrupted for three years. His domains were thus virtually those of his grandfather. On the coast he held from Raphia, if not Rhinokoroura, to Caesarea, except Askalon, while-Joppa had possibly a free constitution. Dora he did not hold. In Ptolemais Claudius settled a colony of veterans. In Judaea and Samaria things were pretty much as under Herod (Shechem, e.g., did not become Neapolis till under the Flavian dynasty). Scythopolis was independent, and so probably the rest of the Decapolis, including Hippos and Gadara which had been Herod's. Philadelphia, with Philadelphine, was independent in 44. Heshbon—Esebon or Esbus—with its.district Sabonitis, seems also to have been outside Peraea. Probably Medaba and Libba were again Nabataean. In Hauran the S. frontier between Agrippa and the Nabataeans ran between Hebran and Bosra (H.G.H.L., 621). On the E. his power reached Nela (Mushennef), where an inscription of his has been found. Compassing Jebel Hauran on the E., the Nabataeans extended to Damascus (2 Cor. xi. 32). Probably Agrippa's power was continuous from Galilee to Abilene, formerly the tetrarchy of Lysanias, yet Mt. Hermon rnay have been still held by Ituraeans. Herod, Agrippa's brother, held Chalcis with the title of king till his death in 48. To the N. was the Ituraean kingdom of Soemus. |
