| Hi-rez Chart of the Herodian Succession. Feel free to download and use |
In those dark days before the ESV study bible came out, I created this chart to help myself understand the Herods that kept popping up in the New Testament. There were several Herods living and ruling in the decades surrounding the advent of Christ. Distinguishing them from each other can be confusing.
I made the first version of this chart in January of '08 on a sheet of notebook paper. Several months later I decided to improve it, and so I transferred it into Mac's stellar graphing software, Graffle, which worked out just fine.
If you have an ESV study bible you can find a similar chart near the intertestamental period. (It might be a little more accurate.) I simply based this one on facts from FF Bruce's New Testament History book. If you own your own copy of the ESVSB, you can view the chart online and print it out.

Excellent, now if you could put together a chart of the various Darius' related or not. With their various and multiple names. Cyrus - Cambyses, Darius, Xerxes, Artaxerxes. But Xerxes perhaps also known as Artaxerxes and Ahauserus. And Xerxes also having a son Darius. Was confusing trying to link these together as they appear in the Word of God and as they appear in secular histories.
