Describe the division among the Jewish people following the death of King Herod.

After the death of King Herod, Jews were divided into those who believed in the prophecy of the Messiah and those who believed in violence. The prophecy stated that a Messiah, or deliverer, would come and save the Jewish people from persecution. Many traditional Jews believed in the scripture readings and were content to patiently await the arrival of the Messiah. Members of the other group, known as zealots, wanted to attack the Romans with violence and forcibly remove them from Judea.

Explanation:

This is the possible answer.

As Herod the Great and Herod I, was a Roman client king of Judea,[10][11][12] referred to as the Herodian kingdom. The history of his legacy has polarized opinion, as he is known for his colossal building projects throughout Judea, including his renovation of the Second Temple in Jerusalem and the expansion of the Temple Mount towards its north,[13] the construction of the port at Caesarea Maritima, the fortress at Masada, and Herodium. Vital details of his life are recorded in the works of the 1st century CE Roman-Jewish historian Josephus.[14] Herod also appears in the Christian Gospel of Matthew as the ruler of Judea who orders the Massacre of the Innocents at the time of the birth of Jesus, although a majority of Herod biographers and biblical scholars hold this to be false.[15] Despite his successes, including singlehandedly forging a new aristocracy from practically nothing,[16] he has still garnered criticism from various historians. His reign polarizes opinion amongst scholars and historians, some viewing his legacy as evidence of success, and some as a reminder of his tyrannical rule.
