Josephus on Herod's Spring from the Shadows of The JOSEPHUS ON HEROD’S SPRING FROM THE SHADOWS OF THE PARTHIAN INVASION Aryeh Kasher The Parthian Threat to the Roman Sway in the East In late 41 bce, impelled by the great Parthian invasion, a massive political upheaval took place in Syria and Palestine.1 Ostensibly, the incursion wreaked havoc on Herod’s aspirations to the royal throne after his engagement to Mariamme the Hasmonean (42 bce). But in fact, one might say that it was a blessing in disguise for it was precisely this event that paved his way to the crown2—this without detracting from “fate” or “fortune” (ἡ τύχη), an aspect Josephus was so fond of in regard to Herod—nor diminishing Herod’s own personal resourceful- ness or manipulative abilities.3 When the Parthian forces poured into Syria, eventually reaching Judea and Jerusalem (40 bce), Phasael and Herod found themselves under siege by the Parthian commander Barzapharanes (or Braza- phranes) in the Hasmonean palace.4 Conflicts immediately erupted between the two over their assessment of the situation and the possible means of escape. Phasael deluded himself that, together with the high priest John Hyrcanus II, he might be able to negotiate with Pacorus, son of the Parthian monarch, to exit the besieged city of Jerusalem without a fight and perhaps even win him over to their side by bribery or other temptations greater than those promised by their rival, Mat- tathias Antigonus, son of Judas Aristobulus II.5 Herod, by contrast, did 1 Debevoise 1968, 108ff.; Stern 1995, 249–255; but Kokkinos 1998, 368 offered many references to correct the chronology. Flusser 2002, 55–56 suggested that 1Enoch 56:5–8 describes the great Parthian invasion, which reached as far as Palestine and likely created a messianic atmosphere. 2 War 1 284–385; Ant. 14.384–385, 403–404; see e.g. Moore 1932, 74; Stern 1995, 256ff. 3 See for example War 1.275, 301, 371, 430; esp. Ant. 14. 9, 381, 386–387, 455; 15.20, 209, 373–379, 17.191–192. 4 War 1, 248–252; Ant. 14.330–341; Schalit 1969, 74ff. 5 Regarding Cassius Dio’s testimony to these events: He confused Aristobulus with Antigonus (48.26.2), so that Josephus’ testimony is much more reliable, more- 228 aryeh kasher not trust the Parthians and suspected that they had resolved to support Mattathias Antigonus because Herod and his brother Phasael had in any case been identified by them as avowed followers of Rome. How- ever, he did not prevent Phasael and John Hyrcanus II from carrying out what they had agreed upon with Bazaphranes, i.e., holding direct negotiations with Pacorus, who was in the northern part of the country at the time. Herod himself, being extremely mistrustful by nature, had many of his valued belongings transported to Idumaea for safekeep- ing (War 1.268; Ant. 14.364). After learning from various sources that the mission of John Hyrcanus II and Phasael had met with failure and that they had fallen captive to the Parthians,6 he managed to flee with all due caution, for fear that a similar trap had been laid for him.7 As recounted by Josephus, Herod fled Jerusalem in haste under the cover of night, with the city surrounded by Parthian divisions and loyalists of Mattathias Antigonus in addition to the many pilgrims who had come there for the Shavuoth (Pentecost) festival, (War 1.253–255, 263–264; Ant. 14.337ff.). It is possible that the public commotion might actually have facilitated his escape; but it was certainly an astounding feat, con- sidering that we are speaking of the clandestine flight of several hun- dred men—itself a difficult logistical operation. Its success may also have been due to the fortunate choice of a good exit point from the over he lived roughly a whole century closer to the episode. According to War 1.248 and Ant. 14.331, Antigonus offered the Parthians a bribe of 1,000 talents and 500 women for their assistance in deposing John Hyrcanus II. Klausner, III, 260, suspected that this was deliberate misinformation derived from Nicolaus of Damascus and intended to defame Antigonus. Unfortunately, his premise can be neither proved nor disproved. 6 We are told that Phasael committed suicide in a noble manner: When he under- stood that he had no chance of survival, he beat his head upon a rock while his hands and feet were chained (War 1.269; Ant. 14.367–369). John Hyrcanus II was exiled to Babylonia, but not before his ears were cut off so as to disqualify him from resuming the high priesthood. War 1.269 says that “Antigonus himself bit Hyrcanus’ ears with his own teeth, as he fell down upon his knees.” The parallel version in Ant. 14.366 sim- ply stated that Antigonus “cut off his ears.” It is obvious that the first version is very hostile to Antigonus and aimed to besmirch him as a savage. One should recall in this context what Tacitus (Annales 12. 14) related about the Parthian custom of cutting off the ears of an enemy, thereby humiliating him while sparing his life. The case of John Hyrcanus should therefore be seen as inspired by Parthian practice, although the act may have been committed with the knowledge and encouragement of Antigonus and perhaps even in his presence. 7 It is worth noting that his mistrust of the Parthians did not prevent him from later negotiating with them over the release of his captive brother Phasael; see War 1.274–275; Ant. 14.371–372..

Josephus As Political Philosopher: His Concept Of Kingship Abstract Scholars who have discussed Josephus’ political philosophy have largely focused on his concepts of aristokratia or theokratia. In general, they have ignored his concept of kingship. Those that have commented on it tend to dismiss Josephus as anti-monarchical and ascribe this to the biblical anti- monarchical tradition. To date, Josephus’ concept of kingship has not been treated as a significant component of his political philosophy. Through a close reading of Josephus’ longest text, the Jewish Antiquities, a historical work that provides extensive accounts of kings and kingship, I show that Josephus had a fully developed theory of monarchical government that drew on biblical and Greco- Roman models of kingship. Josephus held that ideal kingship was the responsible use of the personal power of one individual to advance the interests of the governed and maintain his and his subjects’ loyalty to Yahweh. The king relied primarily on a standard array of classical virtues to preserve social order in the kingdom, protect it from external threats, maintain his subjects’ quality of life, and provide them with a model for proper moral conduct.

  • The Maccabees (Hasmoneans)
    The Maccabees Page 1 The Maccabees (Hasmoneans) HASMONEANS hazʹme-nēʹenz [Gk Asamomaios; Heb ḥašmônay]. In the broader sense the term Hasmonean refers to the whole “Maccabean” family. According to Josephus (Ant. xii.6.1 [265]), Mattathias, the first of the family to revolt against Antiochus IV’s demands, was the great-grandson of Hashman. This name may have derived from the Heb ḥašmān, perhaps meaning “fruitfulness,” “wealthy.” Hashman was a priest of the family of Joarib (cf. 1 Macc. 2:1; 1 Ch. 24:7). The narrower sense of the term Hasmonean has reference to the time of Israel’s independence beginning with Simon, Mattathias’s last surviving son, who in 142 B.C. gained independence from the Syrian control, and ending with Simon’s great-grandson Hyrcanus II, who submitted to the Roman general Pompey in 63 B.C. Remnants of the Hasmoneans continued until A.D. 100. I. Revolt of the Maccabees The Hasmonean name does not occur in the books of Maccabees, but appears in Josephus several times (Ant. xi.4.8 [111]; xii.6.1 [265]; xiv.16.4 [490f]; xv.11.4 [403]; xvi.7.1 [187]; xvii.7.3 [162]; xx.8.11 [190]; 10.3 [238]; 10.5 [247, 249]; BJ i.7 [19]; 1.3 [36]; Vita 1 [2, 4]) and once in the Mishnah (Middoth i.6). These references include the whole Maccabean family beginning with Mattathias. In 166 B.C. Mattathias, the aged priest in Modein, refused to obey the order of Antiochus IV’s envoy to sacrifice to the heathen gods, and instead slew the envoy and a Jew who was about to comply.

  • 30-Between the Testaments #5
    Old Testament History Lesson #30 The Hellenistic Period Introduction. With the death of the last of the sons of Mattathias, in 135 B.C., the heroic age of the Maccabean struggle came to an end. The generation which had fought for religious liberty was dying out. The new generation was proud of the Maccabean victories and hopeful of even greater successes at home and abroad. I. The Growth And Decay Of The Hasmonean Dynasty A. John Hyrcanus. 1. Although powerful enough to conquer Jerusalem, Syria offered rec- ognition to Hyrcanus on the condition that Hyrcanus consider him- self subject to Syria and promise to help in Syrian military cam- paigns. The Syrians left Palestine, and the Hellenizing party disap- peared from the Jewish political scene. 2. This change in political alignments is an important factor in the reign of Hyrcanus. The Maccabean struggle resulted in victory for the Hasidim, although the Hasidim did not completely align them- selves with the Maccabees. They were willing to stop short of politi- cal independence in their dealings with the Syrians. 3. In the subsequent history of the Hellenistic party, its ideals were perpetuated in the party of the Sadducees, and the ideals of the Hasidim were perpetuated in the party of the Pharisees. These par- ties are first mentioned during the lifetime of Hyrcanus. Before his death he repudiated the Pharisees and declared himself a Sad- ducee. 4. The rule of John Hyrcanus was one of territorial expansion. Al- though devout Jews frequently differed with his policies, his per- sonal life was free from suspicion.

    ELECTRUM * Vol. 25 (2018): 127–145 doi: 10.4467/20800909EL.18.007.8927 www.ejournals.eu/electrum BETWEEN EMPIRES AND PEERS: HASMONEAN FOREIGN POLICY UNDER ALEXANDER JANNAEUS Julia Wilker University of Pennsylvania Abstract: During the reign of Alexander Jannaeus (103–76 BCE), Judea underwent a number of signifi cant changes. This article explores one of them: the fundamental shift in foreign policy strategy. This shift becomes most apparent in the king’s decision to not renew the alliance with Rome, which had been a hallmark of Hasmonean foreign policy since the days of Judas Mac- cabaeus. However, a close analysis of Alexander Jannaeus’ policy regarding other foreign powers demonstrates that the end of the Judean-Roman alliance did not happen in a vacuum. It is shown that under Alexander Jannaeus, the Hasmonean state adopted a different strategy towards imperial powers by focusing on deescalation and ignorance rather than alliances. In contrast, interactions with other rising states in the vicinity, such as the Nabateans and Itureans, increased. This new orientation in foreign policy refl ected changes in Hasmonean identity and self-defi nition; Judea did not need imperial support to maintain its independence anymore but strived to increase its status as a regional power. Key words: Hasmoneans, Alexander Jannaeus, Jewish-Roman relations, foreign relations. The reign of Alexander Jannaeus (103–76 BCE) constituted a seminal period in the his- tory of Hellenistic Judea; his rule signifi es both the acme and a turning point of the Has- monean state. The length of his tenure as king – second only to that of his father, John Hyrcanus (135–105/104 BCE) – stands in signifi cant contrast to that of his predecessor, Aristobulus I, who died after having ruled for less than a year.

  • Mattathias Antigonus Coins - the Last Kings of the Hasmonean [email protected]
    Mattathias Antigonus coins - the last kings of the Hasmonean [email protected] Zlotnik yehoshua 10.10.10 Abstract Mattathias Antigonus was the last king of the Hasmonean-Maccabean Dynasty (37-40 BC' all dates BC). Struggles and uprisings preceded his reign of the Hasmonean state, by his father Aristobulus II and his brother Alexander II for control of the Hasmonean kingdom. The three years of his reign were a turbulent time of constant war with his rival king Herod. This period applies to monetary upheaval. Mattathias' activities in the field of Numismatics has been significant and impressive. His minting Authority minted unique coins, while Herod also minted unique coins. Numismatic background before Mattathias Antigonus of the Hasmonean minting; The 3 Hasmonean kings prior to Mattathias Antigonus minted an abundance of unique coins. The first was John Hyrcanus I 135-104, who minted several series of coins, including a coin, possibly, together with Antiochus VII Sidetes minted in Jerusalem. On one side of the coin appears an inscription for Alexander Sidetes with the icon of the royal anchor. On the other side of the coin a model of the lily, the symbol of the Hasmonean priesthood. Another coin bearing the Greek letter alpha above a Paleo Hebrew legend "Yehohanan (John) the High priest and the Council of the Jews." The Alpha letter probably represents the first letter in the name of Antiochus VII Sidetes, and validates the Hebrew inscription underneath it. There are, however, researchers who believe otherwise. The other side of the coin bears the symbol of the cornucopia commonly shown on Hasmonean coins, including the pomegranate icon, which may symbolize the priesthood adopted by the Hasmonean dynasty.

  • Alexander Janneus As High Priest and King: Struggling Between Jewish and Hellenistic Concepts of Rule
    religions Article Alexander Janneus as High Priest and King: Struggling between Jewish and Hellenistic Concepts of Rule Vasile Babota Department of Biblical Theology, Faculty of Theology, Pontifical Gregorian University, Piazza della Pilotta, 4, 00187 Roma RM, Italy; [email protected] Received: 6 December 2019; Accepted: 9 January 2020; Published: 12 January 2020 Abstract: Josephus refers explicitly to Alexander Janneus in his narratives in both War and Antiquities only as king. Janneus’s high priestly office is only implied, and that in a context that is hostile to him (War 1.88//Ant. 13.372). If one looks at Josephus’s list of high priests in Ant. 20.242, there he reports that Janneus acted both as king and priest for “twenty-seven years”. Was it Josephus who did not want to refer explicitly to Janneus as high priest in his narratives, was this dictated by his source/s, or by some other reason/s? More specifically, why is there a contrast between the narratives and the list? This study adopts source-critical, comparative, and interdisciplinary approach. It also compares Janneus with other rulers from the Hellenistic world with whom he shared many characteristics. However, certain aspects make the Hasmonean high priestly monarchy unique, dictated mainly by theological reasons. That of Janneus is an example of an institutional clash. Josephus was aware of the complexity and controversial aspects surrounding the institution of Hasmonean kingship and its combination with the high priesthood. For various reasons he chose not to identify Janneus explicitly as high priest in his narratives, but rather focus mainly on the royal policy.
