The reference to "one half of the kingdom" could then be understood as a geographical, rather than a political observation; Archelaus' share of the kingdom covered about half the territory, and more than half the revenue, owned by Herod.
Rujukan “setengah kerajaan” dapat saja bermakna geografis, bukan politis; bagian Arkhelaus mencakup setengah dari wilayah, dan lebih dari setengah pendapatan, yang dikuasai oleh Herodes Agung.
