A biblical character made her do wrong (5)

I believe the answer is:

herod

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'a biblical character' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'her do wrong' is the wordplay.
'wrong' indicates an anagram.
'do' with letters rearranged gives 'od'.
'her'+'od'='HEROD'

'made' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for herod that I've seen before include "Massacre-of-Innocents king" , "Ruler of Palestine when Jesus was born" , "Cruel king" , "child murderer" , "Biblical king of Judaea" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
