In Matthew Ch.2 v 2-3 we read "Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him.
3 When Herod the king had heard these things, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him."
No other king was going to take over his thrown, and so he ordered all children under the age of two years be killed in the hope that Jeus would be one of them.
