Subjects in this Topic:
ARISTOBULUS.—1. The name of a son and of a grandson of Herod the Great. The grandson lived as a private Individual at Rome, and was a friend of the Emperor Claudius; those greeted by St. Paul in Rom_16:10 were probably some of his slaves. If he was then dead, they might have become members of the Imperial household, but would still retain Aristobulus’ name. 2. The teacher of Ptolemy (2Ma_1:10).
