New Testament
Archelaus
The son of Herod the Great who ruled Judea, prompting Joseph to settle in Galilee.
Archelaus was the ethnarch of Judea, Samaria, and Idumea following the death of his father, Herod the Great. His reputation for cruelty influenced Joseph to avoid Judea upon returning from Egypt, leading the holy family to settle in Nazareth instead. His brief mention in Matthew 2:22 highlights the political climate surrounding the infancy of Jesus.
