A:
We have no historical evidence of any Jewish kings ordering babies to be killed, although human sacrifice does seem to have been practised prior to the seventh-century-BCE reign of King Josiah. Based on one of the gospel accounts, it is possible that King Herod ordered the baby boys under two years old to be killed, when he discovered that the wise men had returned home a different way. If this were the case, we could expect the first-century Jewish historian, Josephus, to have reported on this, but neither he nor any other source even mentions Herod's 'Slaughter of the Innocents'.
The Gospel of Matthew records King Herod as ordering the babies to be killed, but John Shelby Spong (Born of a Woman: A Bishop Rethinks the Birth of Jesus) says that the story is 'Christian midrash'.
