Hyrcanus has spent four years in exile among the Jews of Babylon, who have paid him every mark of respect.

Herod, fearful that Hyrcanus might induce the Parthians to help him regain the throne, invites the former High Priest in 36 to return to Jerusalem.

Hyrcanus accepts and Herod receives him with high honors, assigning to him the first place at his table and the presidency of the state council.
