When peole wanted Jesus to be King after the Fish and loaves story, Jesus retreated up the side of the mountain to get away. He did not want to upset Herod as much as he already had. Jesus walked up the mountain and said to his disciples to dismiss the people from the deserted place where they were staying.
The Jews who followed him wanted him as a king, but the priests wanted him killed.
In the bible the king who was ruling Bethleham was king Herod.
Shortly after Jesus was born, his family fled to Egypt to escape King Herod who wanted to kill Jesus because he felt he was a threat to his power after Jesus was called "The King of Kings".

King Herod asked the wise men to tell him where he could find Jesus, because Herod wanted to kill Jesus.
Considering, that Herod is the evil King who wanted Baby Jesus killed, it is then unlikely that they could have been friends.
Herod the Great attempted to kill Jesus as a baby, for fear this 'king' was a threat to his rulership, as was prophesied at Jeremiah 31:15 and Hosea 11:1. (Matthew 2:1-18)
Because it read 'King of the Jews'. The Pharisees (Jewish priests who had Jesus crucified) wanted it changed to "I say I am the king of the Jews" but Pilate would not.
Under the order of Pontius Pilate, after many of the Jews denounced Jesus, Jesus was killed by the Romans. The King at the time was Caesar, but he had no direct role. Herod Antipas was tetrarch of Galliee at the time, but he returned Jesus to Pilate, who reluctantly ordered the crucifixion of Jesus.
he was struggling against king herod because he hated him and wanted him dead
because the Lord wanted his son to be safe.
they thought that's what Jesus meant when He told them that he was King of Kings and Lord of Lords....they thought He meant He was an earthly king, but Jesus was talking about being a Heavenly king
