After Herod died, his kingdom was divided:
- Herod Antipas ruled Galilee and Perea.
- Philip ruled Ituraea and Trachonitis.
- Judea went first to Archelaus. Later Rome ruled it through governors, one of them Pontius Pilate.
A tetrarch is a ruler of one part of a kingdom. "Bethany across the Jordan" is the King James Bible's Bethabara.
