Herod of Chalcis (died 48 CE), also known as Herod Pollio King of Chalcis,[1]Herod V, and listed by theJewish Encyclopedia asHerod II,[2] was a son ofAristobulus IV, and the grandson ofHerod the Great, Romanclient king ofJudaea. He was the brother ofHerod Agrippa I andHerodias and ruled as the king ofChalcis in 41–48 CE.
His first wife was his cousin,Mariamne.[3] They had a son namedAristobulus, who also eventually became ruler of Chalcis.
After Mariamne's death, he married his nieceBerenice, with whom he had two sons, Berenicianus and Hyrcanus.[2]
Around 41 CE, at the request of his brother, Herod Agrippa, emperorClaudius granted him the rule of Chalcis, a territory north of Judaea, with the title of king.[4] Three years later, after the death of his brother, he was also given responsibility for theSecond Temple in Jerusalem, as well as the appointment of the Temple'sHigh Priest. During the four years in which he exercised this right he appointed two high priests—Joseph, son of Camydus (44–46), andAnanias, son of Nedebeus (ca. 47–52).[2]
He died in 48 CE. After his death the kingdom of Chalcis was given toHerod Agrippa II, but only as a tetrarchy.[5]
