(27-100), son of the preceding, and like him originally See also:Marcus See also:Julius Agrippa, was See also:born about A.D. 27, and received the tetrarchy of See also:Chalcis and the oversight of the See also:Temple on the See also:death of his See also:uncle Herod, A.D. 48.

In the See also:war which See also:Vespasian carried on against the See also:Jews Herod sent him 2000 men, by which it appears that, though a See also:Jew in See also:religion, he was yet entirely devoted to the See also:Romans, whose assistance indeed he required to secure the See also:peace of his own kingdom. He died at See also:Rome in the third See also:year of See also:Trajan, A.D. See also:loo. He was the seventh and last See also:king of the-See also:family of Herod the See also:Great.

He supplied See also:Josephus with See also:information for his See also:history.
