This gentile, Antipater, of Idumea, had four sons, one of whom, named Herod Ascalonita, was made king in Judea. Hyrcanus' grandaughter, Mariame, was given to Herod in marriage. Because of her he held the kingdom, and he circumcised himself. After the killing of the infants, Herod reigned for only six years. The Lord hid in Egypt from him.
