Archelaus, Herod the Great's eldest son, is only once mentioned in Scripture. (Matt. 2:22). He received only half of his father's kingdom, for when Herod the Great died, he divided his kingdom among his three sons, Archelaus, Herod Antipas and Philip. In the tenth year of the reign of Archelaus his brothers and subjects made bitter complaint of his cruelty and tyranny, which led Caesar to strip him of his honors and' banish him to Vienne, Gaul (France).
