Excerpt from Popular History of the Jews, Vol. 2 Herod, or, as the people called him, the Idumean slave, had reached the height of his ambition. True, he waded through blood to the throne, but that throne was firmly established, and, if it had to be, he was prepared to shed still more blood. The hatred of the people upon whom he forced his rule without the least shadow of merit or right, was nothing to him as long as he enjoyed the favor of Rome and the smiles of Antony. The course of his policy lay clear before him, shaped, to a certain extent, by circumstances. He was to cleave to the rulers of Rome as a mighty support against the ill-will of the people, and that ill-will must be gradually subdued by seemingly harmless concessions, or suppressed by ruthless violence. This policy, cold and heartless as fate, he pursued from the very first moment of his victory throughout the thirty-four years of his reign. Even in the first confusion consequent upon the conquest of the Temple Mount, he did not lose his presence of mind and ordered his satellite Costobar to watch the exits of Jerusalem and to seize all fugitives.
