Exegesis
The conjunction de {δὲ | de} marks a narrative turn, while hoti {ὅτι | ho-ti} ‘that’ introduces the content of what was heard: Archelaos basileuei tēs Ioudaias anti tou patros autou Heroidou {Ἀρχέλαος βασιλεύει τῆς Ἰουδαίας ἀντὶ τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ Ἡρῴδου | Ar-khe-la-os ba-si-leú-ei tēs Iou-dai-as an-ti tou pa-tros au-tou He-roi-dou}. The present tense basileuei presents Archelaus’s rule as active and ongoing, and anti with the genitive expresses substitution in a dynastic setting, indicating that he rules in Herod’s place.
In context — Matthew 2:22
But after hearing that Archelaus was reigning over Judea in his father Herod's place, he was afraid to go there; and, having been warned in a dream, he withdrew to the regions of Galilee .
