Zealots: A sect of Jews which originated with Judas the Gaulonite
(Acts 5:37) They
refused to pay tribute to the Romans, on the ground that this was a
violation of the principle that God was the only king of Israel. They
rebelled against the Romans, but were soon scattered, and became a
lawless band of mere brigands. They were afterwards called Sicarii,
from their use of the sica, i.e., the Roman dagger.
