Antipater the Idumean

Antipater I the Idumaean (/ænˈtɪpətər/; Hebrew: אָנְטִיפָּטְרוּס‬, Modern ’ántípatrūs Tiberian ’éntīpat'rus; died 43 BC) was the founder of the Herodian Dynasty and father of Herod the Great. According to Josephus, he was the son of Antipas I (Hebrew: אנטיפס‬) and had formerly held that name.

A native of Idumaea, southeast of Judea between the Dead Sea and the Gulf of Aqaba, which during the time of the Hebrew Bible had been known as the land of Edom, Antipater became a powerful official under the later Hasmonean kings and subsequently became a client of the Roman general Pompey the Great when Pompey conquered Judea in the name of Roman Republic.
