 Archelaus
    ruler of the people, son of Herod the Great, by Malthace, a
    Samaritan woman. He was educated along with his brother Antipas
    at Rome. He inherited from his father a third part of his
    kingdom viz., Idumea, Judea, and Samaria, and hence is called
    "king" (Matt. 2:22). It was for fear of him that Joseph and Mary
    turned aside on their way back from Egypt. Till a few days
    before his death Herod had named Antipas as his successor, but
    in his last moments he named Archelaus.
