I felt so bad for Drusilla as soon as I heard about her move to Pompeii!

It would be cool to see where noble families of the medieval age are today.

[HistoryandHeadlines]

It is interesting how these various royal families are all related to each other somehow or other.

[EcclesiastesLiker-pyts]

Herod the great is also remembered for attempting to order various executions on the day he died, apparently in order to ensure that proper grief was shown. It seems Herod the great was or was at least seen as extremely irrational and violent, something that would mean that the massacre of the innocents would be in character.

Love the Biblical Series so far! Sam did a great job as well!

“It's better to be Herod's pig than his son."

Matthew never says three magi. The belief that there were only three was due to three gifts. It was most likely a caravan composed of magi and armed guards.

[ryanvoll]

The bible doesn’t call them “wisemen” but as Magi.

It’s only through oral telling of the story that it got switched from Magi to Wisemen. Also it doesn’t say how many, people just assumed 3, because they only brought 3 gifts.

This is a fantastic overview. It’s very difficult to keep things straight in this Dynasty with so many overlapping names. This was very helpful.

[eleandrocustodio]

Sam videos are really great! He mastered the art of explain the mess of theses repeated names (herod, antipas, etc).

[sotzipporah]

My family is from the tribe of Levi, the kohans, we aren’t from Egypt. It’s so very interesting to learn something new about my people. Thank you!

[smollbaguette]

(: It's actually interesting that other people are joining!

Great video Sam! 3:45 The notion of separate kingship and high priesthood is not found in Numbers, but you are probably thinking about Korah's dispute over the leadership which is found there, ch. 16. Indeed, the institution of kingship is never mentioned in Numbers. Notions of separate kingship are found in Deuteronomy, in chapters 17-18. Interestingly, the notion of a strict devision probably did not exist in the early monarchy; David performs sacrificial rites (2Sam 6) and his sons served as priests (2Sam 8). Still, unlike in Hasmonean times, this was probably the exception not the rule, as the Levite-Zadokite clan is said to be the primary priestly family.

[JulesGoldstein]

It is incorrect to say that the Western or Wailing Wall is the only remaining part of Herod's temple complex. Most if not all of the temple platform wall is Herodian. The significant of the Wailing Wall is later, from a time when Jews were banned from the temple platform and were only allowed access to the southern portion of the western retaining wall which was next to the Jewish quarter of Jerusalem. The Jews of that time took to mourning there consistent with Psalm 137.

i still like to see a video on the family tree of Armenian monarchs.

[GitaAyuPuspita]

[Artur_M.]

I had a feeling who might be the surprise quest host teased at the end of the previous video and I'm glad to see I was right. Go check out Sam's channel, it's awesome!

Archelaus was kicked out by the Romans, not abdicated.
