Best Answer

Early in his reign, Herod Antipas married Phasaelis, daughter of King Aretas IV of Nabatea. In 34 CE, he divorced her in order to marry Herodias, who had also divorced Antipas' brother, Philip, in order to marry him. It was this last marriage that led to the arrest and execution of John the Baptist, a strident critic of the affair.
