Subject: Why couldn't Herod have Herodias? |
Bible Note: Emmaus, We know that Herod 'had his brother's wife', which means he had married her. My question has to do with John's rebuke that "it was not lawful for him [Herod] to have his brother's [Philip's] wife." What was Herod's 'unlawful' act: marrying a blood relationship [incest] or committing adultery? Which? Thanks, Disciplerami |
