Herod Philip I

Archimandrite Nikifor’s Biblical Encyclopedia

(Mark 6:17), son of Herod the Great and Mariamne, daughter of the high priest Simon. He must not be confused with Philip the tetrarch. He was married to Herodias, sister of Agrippa I, by whom he had a daughter, Salome. Herodias, however, left Philip and entered into an incestuous marriage with Philip's half brother Herod Antipas (Matt 14:3; Mark 6:17; Luke 3:19). Herod deprived Philip of his inheritance, and Philip spent his whole life as a private citizen.
