This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

ἐπάνω δέκα πόλεων. Another strange touch explained by the history of the times. Archelaus had actually assigned the government of cities to his adherents who had proved faithful (Jos. Antt. XIV. 14, § 3, &c.), and this was not an uncommon plan among the Herodian princes. “We shall also reign with Him,” 2Ti 2:12. The somewhat awkward Greek phrase shews how closely St Luke is adhering to his Aramaic document.
