Herod II

Herod II (ca. 27 BC – 33/34 AD)^[1][2] was the son of Herod the Great and Mariamne II, the daughter of Simon Boethus the High Priest, and the first husband of Herodias, daughter of Aristobulus IV and his wife Berenice. For a brief period he was his father's heir apparent, but Herod I removed him from succession in his will. Some writers call him Herod Philip I (not to be confused with Philip the Tetrarch, the son of Cleopatra of Jerusalem, whom some writers call "Herod Philip II"), as the Gospel of Matthew^[3] and Gospel of Mark^[4] state that Herodias was married to a "Philip". Because he was the grandson of Simon Boethus, he is sometimes also called Herod Boethus, but there is no evidence he was actually thus called during his lifetime.^[5] (Josephus states this Mariamne II, daughter of simon boethus, had a son named Herod who was removed from his will on his death bed and also divorced this mariamne for plots against Agrippa, this family of simon boethus is the same boethus jesus speaks of, Magdalene, Martha, Lazarus and simon (surnames peter). Magdalene is the mariamne II, mother of Herod II!) Acts 12:11 " peter knocked on the door of the gate of the house of mary, mother of john" also points out she is high class gated community. Herodias married this Herod II, salome married Philip. It all can be proven in Josephus Antiquities chapter V:4. Editor added "philip" but it states clearly herod the great's son with mariamne, daughter of olympias and joseph ben joseph who was brother to herod the king!
