Chapter 20 <strong>Herod</strong> Is Confirmed in his Kingdom <strong>by</strong> Caesar 1. But now <strong>Herod</strong> was under immediate concern about a most important affair, on account <strong>of</strong> his friendship with An<strong>to</strong>ny, who was already overcome at Actium <strong>by</strong> Caesar; yet he was more afraid than hurt; for Caesar did not think he had quite undone An<strong>to</strong>ny, while <strong>Herod</strong> continued his assistance <strong>to</strong> him. However, <strong>the</strong> king resolved <strong>to</strong> expose himself <strong>to</strong> dangers: accordingly he sailed <strong>to</strong> Rhodes, where Caesar <strong>the</strong>n abode, and came <strong>to</strong> him without his diadem, and in <strong>the</strong> habit and appearance <strong>of</strong> a private person, but in his behavior as a king. So he concealed nothing <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> truth, but spike thus before his face: "O Caesar, as I was made king <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Jews <strong>by</strong> An<strong>to</strong>ny, so do I pr<strong>of</strong>ess that I have used my royal authority in <strong>the</strong> best manner, and entirely for his advantage; nor will I conceal this fur<strong>the</strong>r, that thou hadst certainly found me in arms, and an inseparable companion <strong>of</strong> his, had not <strong>the</strong> Arabians hindered me. However, I sent him as many auxiliaries as I was able, and many ten thousand [cori] <strong>of</strong> corn. Nay, indeed, I did not desert my benefac<strong>to</strong>r after <strong>the</strong> bow that was given him at Actium; but I gave him <strong>the</strong> best advice I was able, when I was no longer able <strong>to</strong> assist him in <strong>the</strong> war; and I <strong>to</strong>ld him that <strong>the</strong>re was but one way <strong>of</strong> recovering his affairs, and that was <strong>to</strong> kill Cleopatra; and I promised him that, if she were once dead, I would afford him money and walls for his security, with an army and myself <strong>to</strong> assist him in his war against <strong>the</strong>e: but his affections for Cleopatra s<strong>to</strong>pped his ears, as did God himself also who hath bes<strong>to</strong>wed <strong>the</strong> government on <strong>the</strong>e. I own myself also <strong>to</strong> be overcome <strong>to</strong>ge<strong>the</strong>r with him; and with his last fortune I have laid aside my diadem, and am come hi<strong>the</strong>r <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong>e, having my hopes <strong>of</strong> safety in thy virtue; and I desire that thou wilt first consider how faithful a friend, and not whose friend, I have been." 2. Caesar replied <strong>to</strong> him thus: "Nay, thou shalt not only be in safety, but 84
