When Herod the Great died his kingdom was split in thirds. His son Archaelaus was over Judea, but he had problems with the Roman government and was disposed and his territory (Judea, Samaria, and idumaea) was turned over to a Roman procurator.
By the time Jesus started His ministry the procurator in Judea was Pontius Pilate.
There were other Herod's from the line of Herod the Great ruling in other Providences but not in Judea.
