I was determined not to hi-jack this important thread so I held off commenting or starting a new thread on the Hasmoneans. I'm sure a new thread on the Hasmoneans will start soon enough but until then...:

Herod's last speech is about how he had accomplished more during his reign than the Hasmoneans accomplished during their 125 years in power. "Now, why would Herod do that...?"
The Hasmoneans are that important to the NT. A MOST important book by Uzi Leibner has been published (Early Settlements in...) which gives an understanding of the Hasmoneans, their settlements and how they were most approving of the Temple Service.
OK. enough. Please keep examining Matthew's Genealogy. THAT'S important as well.
