∙ 7y agoHerod the Great (74 BC- 4 BC?) was appointed King of Judea by the Romans who occupied Palestine.
When he heard that a child had been born who was prophesied to become "King of the Jews," Herod allegedly had all of the infants killed around Bethlehem. Mary and Joseph had already fled with their baby Jesus. However, this story appears only in the Gospel of Matthew, with no historical documentation.
By some interpretation of the records, Herod had already died in March, 4 BC. Other accounts have him dying as late as 1 BC.
