Herod Agrippa

The youngest of the executed sons of Herod I, Aristobulus, had a little son named Herod Agrippa. His life (described in detail by Josephus Flavius) was happier than the fate of his unfortunate father, although he also experienced many cruel blows of fate. While still a child, Herod Agrippa was taken by his mother to Rome and lived there at the imperial court. Thanks to this, he escaped the oppression of his cruel grandfather, but in education, upbringing and way of thinking he became more Roman than Jew. The emperor Tiberius (14–37) was very fond of him and considered him his close friend. However, Herod Agrippa understood that it was useless to expect great blessings from the aged Tiberius and more hoped for his great-nephew Gaius Caligula, a young man who was supposed to inherit power after the death of a childless emperor. Having tried to get close to Caligula, he succeeded so much in this that he became his best friend and spent whole days in his company.

Once during a walk, when no one could hear them, except for the charioteer Eutychus, Agrippa said to Caligula: “Will the day finally come when this old man Tiberius dies and makes you the ruler of the world? I will open my heart to you - I have been waiting for his death for a long time, as the greatest holiday! Guy, noticing that the charioteer was listening to their conversation, remained silent and acted prudently, because after some time Eutychus reported this careless conversation to the emperor. Angry and offended, Tiberius ordered Herod Agrippa to be immediately seized and imprisoned. Chained in chains, the unfortunate prince was taken to prison. There he languished for several months, not even knowing what awaited him in the future.

Once, when Herod Agrippa, along with other prisoners, was taken for a walk in the prison yard, a significant incident happened: an owl flew down on a tree against which he was leaning. The prince himself did not pay attention to the bird, but its appearance did not escape the attention of other prisoners. One of them approached Agrippa and said: “The Lord revealed His will to me, glorious young man! Let me tell you your future. Today you are in grief and sorrow and consider yourself the most unfortunate of mortals. But know that only five days will pass, and you will regain your freedom. After that, you will achieve the greatest honor and power. The Lord, by sending you this bird, showed by this that he took you under His protection. Forget now about the torment and enjoy life. Just remember that next time the owl will be your messenger of death. If you see him sitting above you again, know that in five days you will die!”

Thus spoke this unknown prisoner, and Agrippa marveled at his words. Five days later the news of Tiberius' death came. Guy Caligula, having become emperor, immediately released his friend from prison and showered him with signs of attention. First of all, instead of the iron chain that he wore on his royal hands, he presented him with a golden chain, in which there was as much weight as in the first. Then he put a crown on the head of Herod Agrippa and proclaimed him king over the former tetrarchy of Philip, thus restoring this title, lost by the descendants of Herod after his death. Having received, in addition, a lot of money and gifts, Herod Agrippa returned to his native country, which he had once left as an almost exile.

Meanwhile, the unprecedented success of Herod Agrippa aroused envy in the heart of his sister Herodias, who, as already mentioned, was married to Herod Antipas, the tetrarch of Galilee. Coming to her husband, Herodias began to say to him: “How can you, Herod, endure this humiliation? After all, it was you, the successor of your father on the throne, who was supposed to receive the royal power, which went to Agrippa. Will you really allow a man, persecuted and despised by everyone for many years, to now rise so high as to command you?

Herodias added many other words to this, and in the end, forced by her, Herod Antipas went to Rome in 39 to try to denigrate Agrippa in the eyes of the emperor, and at the same time acquire some new possessions for himself. However, his plans were not destined to come true. Herod Agrippa, informed of the trip of his uncle, immediately took retaliatory measures and sent his freedman Fortunat after him to Rome. Fortunatus arrived at the emperor just at the moment when he was talking with Herod Antipas, and gave him a letter from Agrippa. The king reported in it that Herod, having entered into secret negotiations with the enemy of Rome, the Parthian king, was preparing to be transferred under his authority. Agrippa also wrote that 70,000 swords were kept in the arsenals of Herod Antipas, intended to arm the rebellious Jews with them. When Caligula read about this, he became worried and began to question the tetrarch about his affairs, and then asked: “Is it true that you keep weapons for 70 thousand soldiers in your palace?”

Herod was embarrassed, but, realizing that it was no longer possible to hide this weapon, as soon as the emperor became aware of it, he thought it best to admit that this was really so. The embarrassment and fear of the prince did not hide from the eyes of Caligula, and he finally believed in the guilt of Herod Antipas. No longer hiding his anger, he exclaimed: “Now I understand why you are slandering my friend Agrippa! You are plotting against him, and against me, and against the entire Roman state! For your intrigues, you deserve death, but, fortunately for you, you have not yet had time to do much harm, so I will limit myself to exile! And the emperor immediately took all his lands from Herod Antipas and exiled him to the outskirts of his empire, to Spain. Agrippa received his possessions and all his wealth, once again proving, as Caligula thought, his loyalty to Rome and to him personally. The next Roman emperor Claudius (41-54) also favored Agrippa. He transferred under his control that half of the kingdom that Archelaus had previously owned (that is, he gave him Judea, Idumea and Samaria).

So the territory of the former Kingdom of Judah was again united under the rule of one sovereign. Herod Agrippa reigned calmly and firmly over the country. He was a generous master and a wise judge, for which he was loved by all the Jews. But in one thing Agrippa turned out to be weak of heart: he gave with him enormous power to all sorts of flatterers, who extolled him in every way. This is what ruined him. One day the king held a solemn game in Caesarea. A huge mass of people and the entire Jewish nobility flocked to them. And so, on the second day of the feast, Herod Agrippa appeared at the theater in clothes weaved with silver, which miraculously shone and sparkled in the rays of the rising sun. Immediately, several flatterers approached the king and began to say to him: “Be merciful to us! If we have so far bowed before you as before a man, now we are ready to recognize you as God himself!”

Listening to these blasphemous words, Agrippa did not shudder with indignation, but, on the contrary, favorably continued the conversation. Meanwhile, the courtiers said: “Truly, this is a god, and not a man!” Their praises were very pleasing to the king, and suddenly, raising his head, he saw an owl sitting above him. Here shame and remorse took possession of his soul. He exclaimed, “Shut up! I, whom you recognized as a god, stand on the brink of destruction. The true Lord, who reigns over us, has just reminded me that I, too, am mortal and my days are numbered.”

Having said this, Herod Agrippa felt a severe pain in his stomach. He became ill, and the servants hurriedly carried him to the palace. Soon he died in terrible agony. This death, which happened in 44 AD, is mentioned in the Acts of the Holy Apostles in the following expressions: “Herod, dressed in royal clothes, sat down on a high place and spoke to them, and the people exclaimed:“ This is the voice of God, and not of man. But suddenly the Angel of the Lord struck him because he did not give glory to God; and he, having been eaten by worms, died” (Acts 12:21-23). Christians could not forgive Herod Agrippa for the persecution to which he subjected the followers of Christ (the execution of the Apostle James, the arrest of Peter), and therefore they treated him very hostilely.

Fortunately or unfortunately, the influence of the family on children can be strong and lasting. Character traits and qualities are passed down from generation to generation, and often children repeat the mistakes and sins of their parents. The Bible mentions four kings from the Herod Dynasty - representatives of four generations. Each left his own unkind mark: Herod the Great ordered the children killed in Bethlehem; Herod Antipas executed John the Baptist and participated in the trial of Jesus; Herod Agrippa I killed the Apostle James; Herod Agrippa II was one of those who judged Paul.

Herod Agrippa I treated his subjects relatively well. Since his grandmother Mariamne was a Jewess of royal blood, the people reluctantly accepted him. Although in his youth Herod had been imprisoned for some time by the emperor Tiberius, Rome now trusted him and he was on good terms with the emperors Caligula and Claudius.

An unexpected opportunity to increase his popularity among the Jews opened up for Herod in connection with the Christian movement. Many pagans began to be accepted into the church. The Jews tolerated this new teaching as a sect within Judaism, but their rapid growth worried them. The persecution of Christians resumed, this time they did not bypass the apostles either. James was killed, Peter was thrown into prison.

But soon Herod made a fatal mistake. During his visit to Caesarea, the people called him a god, and he accepted their praises. Soon he was stricken with a painful illness and died within a week.

Like his grandfather, father and heir-son, Herod Agrippa I met with the truth, but missed it. Since religion served him only for political purposes, he without a twinge of conscience accepted the honors that only God deserves. This is a common mistake. When we pride ourselves on our abilities and accomplishments without recognizing them as God's gift, we are repeating the sin of Herod.

Valuable traits and deeds:

Capable ruler and politician
. He managed to maintain good relations with his subjects - the Jews, and with Rome

Weaknesses and bugs:

The culprit of the death of the Apostle James
. Arrested Peter and was going to kill him
. Allowed the people to honor themselves as God

Lessons from his life:

He who opposes himself to God dooms himself to death
. Accepting the honor that only God deserves is dangerous

Biography

Agrippa the First was born in 10 BC. e. and was brought up in Rome together with the son of Emperor Tiberius - Drusus. Grandson of Herod the Great. The Herods were a dynasty that ruled over Judea. By origin they were Edomites, or Edomites. The Edomites were considered Jews because around 125 B.C.E. e. they were forced to be circumcised. He made friends with various members of the imperial family. One of them was Gaius, better known as Caligula, who became emperor in 37 AD. e. Soon he proclaimed Agrippa the king of Iturea, the Trachonite region and Abilene. Later, Caligula annexed Galilee and Perea to the possessions of Agrippa. Agrippa was in Rome when, in 41 CE, e. Caligula was killed. According to some reports, Agrippa played an important role in resolving the crisis that followed. He was directly involved in the negotiations between the Roman Senate and Claudius, another of his influential friends. As a result, Claudius was proclaimed emperor, and thus a civil war was averted. To thank Agrippa for his mediation, Claudius expanded his royal possessions, granting him Judea and Samaria, which had been subject to Roman procurators since 6 AD. e. So Agrippa began to rule the same size territory as Herod the Great. The capital of Agrippa's kingdom was Jerusalem, where he won the favor of the religious leaders. They say that he carefully observed the Jewish law and traditions, for example, made daily sacrifices in the temple, read the Law to the people and played the role of a zealous defender of the Jewish faith. But all his claims that he served God were in vain, because he arranged gladiator fights and pagan performances in the theater. According to some, Agrippa was "devious, frivolous, extravagant".

At first, Agrippa endured various vicissitudes. Accustomed to a wasteful life, he squandered the fortune he inherited from his mother, and was forced, after the death of his friend Drusus (in 23), to return to Judea, then divided into several principalities under the rule of the descendants of Herod as Roman henchmen, and accept from his brother-in-law his Antipas, the prince of Galilee, a subordinate position. But he did not stay in this post for long. Having fallen into unpayable debts (he owed 40,000 denarii to the Roman treasury alone, for which he almost got into the debt tower), he decided to return to Rome in order to experience happiness there again.

At first, happiness did not smile at him. Due to one careless review of Tiberius, he was thrown into prison, where he remained until the death of Tiberius, but with the accession to the throne of Gaius Caligula (37 AD), his star shone. Caligula not only restored his freedom, but also showered him with favors. He returned to him the royal dignity and the crown, endowed him with the former possessions of the tetrarch Philip, Batanea and Trachonaea, to which he later added the lands of Herod Antipas, exiled in 39, Galilee and Perea, and the successor of Caligula, Emperor Claudius, also returned to him his own Judea and Samaria, so that under Agrippa Judaea was again united and reached its former size.

Agrippa, having become the king of all Judea, decided to win popularity among the Pharisees and began to fulfill all the prescriptions of Judaism, for which he is extolled in the Talmud (Ktubot 17a; Mishnah Sota, ch. 7, § 8).

But Agrippa did not reign long. In A.D. 44 e. he suddenly fell ill at a feast in Caesarea and died at the age of 54.

36. King Agrippa I

When Caligula died, Agrippa helped ensure that Claudius was elected emperor of the Romans. As a reward for this service, the new emperor gave Agrippa, in addition to the previously received areas, also southern Judea.

Thus, Agrippa became the king of all Judea, within the limits that it had under the Hasmonean kings. His short reign (41-44) reminded the Jews of the old happy times. Having moved to Jerusalem, Agrippa abandoned his frivolous youthful passions and devoted himself entirely to the cause of government. The people, recently suffering from the Roman governors, gladly met their king and soon fell in love with him. King Agrippa always showed deep respect for the religious customs of the Jewish people, but at the same time he tried to maintain good relations with the surrounding Greeks and Romans. He relied in management on the party of the Pharisees, whom the people trusted more than the rich tzadukes. Agrippa returned to the Sanhedrin its former rights and appointed pious and unselfish people as high priests. He was very modest in dealing with people. On the “holiday of the harvest” (Shovuot), the king, fulfilling a religious custom, himself carried his basket of vegetables to the temple, along with ordinary villagers. One day Agrippa read aloud in the temple the established chapters of Deuteronomy. When he reached the place where it says: “Set a king over you from among your brothers: you cannot put foreigners over you (XVII, 15),” he suddenly began to cry, for he remembered that he himself was of Edomite origin from the side of his grandfather Herod I Those present, including the Pharisees, were very touched and exclaimed: “Don't be sad, Agrippa! You are our brother!” In Agrippa, the son of the executed Aristobulus and the grandson of the Hasmonean Mariam, the people really saw a Hasmonean rather than a Herodian.

Agrippa began to build a high fortress wall around Jerusalem in order to protect the capital from enemy attacks. But the Roman governor in Syria informed the emperor Claudius about this and added that the Jewish king probably wanted to secede from Rome. Then Agrippa was forced to stop work. Soon Agrippa died suddenly while attending public games in Caesarea. The Jews ardently mourned their king, while the Greeks and Romans of Caesarea rejoiced at his death and arranged a merry feast on this occasion.

In the reign of Agrippa I, Gamliel I, the grandson of the great teacher Hillel, stood at the head of the Jerusalem Sanhedrin. Gamliel wisely directed the activities of the Sanhedrin, adapting legislation to the needs of life.

One of the disciples of Gamliel was Saul of Tarsus, who subsequently fell away from the Jews and became the main apostle of Christianity, under the name of Paul. - At that time, many pagans began to profess faith in the One God. Some accepted this faith according to Christian teaching, others - according to Jewish. In Syria and Asia Minor, many pagans, especially women, converted to Judaism. In the small kingdom of Adiabene, in Mesopotamia, Queen Helen and her sons Izat and Monobizus converted to the Jewish faith; their example was followed by other members of the Adiabene royal family. Helen went to Jerusalem to worship the God of Israel. Famine was then raging in the capital, and Elena donated a lot of money to buy bread for the starving population. After the death of Helen and Izat, their bodies were transported to Jerusalem and buried in a special tomb. The children and descendants of Izat settled in Judea and lived there until the fall of this state.
