Hi Emmanuel. During Jesus' days on Earth, there were three Herods: Herod the Great, Herod Archelaus, & Herod Antipas.
Herod the Great (73 B.C. to 4 B.C.) was not a Jew - his father an Idumean and his mother Arabian. The Roman government had made him king of Judea in 40 B.C. Although Herod was a great builder (including his extension of the temple) and had been occasionally generous to the Jewish people, he eventually lost favour with them. His mixed lineage with his Edomite blood would have made him unacceptable to the people & he would have been looked upon as they did with the Romans.
Archelaus was his eldest son who ruled over Judea, Samaria & Idumea, but his other son, Antipas, ruled over Galilee.
