This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
22. Ἀρχέλαος. A son of Herod the Great. His mother was Malthaké, a Samaritan. After a cruel and disturbed reign (under the title of Ethnarch) of about eight years he was banished to Vienna in Gaul—the modern Vienne. His dominions, including Samaria, Judæa, and Idumæa, then passed into the direct government of Rome. See note, ch. Mat 14:1, and Introduction, p. xxix.

ἐκεῖ for ἐκεῖσε, as in English there for thither: cp. Soph O. C. 1019, ὁδοῦ κατάρχειν τῆς ἐκεῖ. Hdt. VII. 147, καὶ ἡμεῖς ἐκεῖ πλέομεν.

τὰ μέρη τῆς Γαλιλαίας. Now under the government of Herod Antipas, full brother of Archelaus. For the extent of his dominions see Map.
