Has anyone pondered much on the significance of this satement in the new testement?

Herod was an Edomite, a puppet king of the Jews. Purposely placed in leadership over them because of hatred for the Jews, and their hatred of
Edomites. The throne of David, or the rulers from the tribe of Judah, were not on the throne anymore at the time of Christ.
