Brother of Herod and the first husband of Herodias.
About Philip (Husband of Herodias)
Son of Herod the Great and Mariamne and husband of Salome’s mother, Herodias. Herodias left him to become the mistress of his half-brother Herod Antipas. It was for this immoral relationship that John the Baptist rebuked Herod and was later imprisoned and beheaded (Matthew 14:3–12; Mark 6:17–29; Luke 3:19–20).
