Luke 9:7
[A.M. 4036. A.D. 32.]
Herod <2264> [Herod.]
tetrarch <5076> [Tetrarch.]
A tetrarch, [tetrarches <\\See definition 5076\\>,] from [tetras <\\See definition 5069\\>,] four, and [arche <\\See definition 746\\>,] government, properly signifies a prince, or ruler over a quarter of any region; and had its origin from Galatia, which was governed by four princes. In the New Testament, however, it denotes a prince, or king, who reigns over the fourth part of a former kingdom. By Herod's will his kingdom was thus divided among his sons: Archelaus had one-half, consisting of Idumea, Judea, and Samaria; Herod Antipas, one-fourth, consisting of Galilee and Perea; and Philip the remaining fourth, consisting of Batanea, Trachonitis, and Auranitis.
