Herod wanted to be the Messiah. When he heard Jesus had been born, he sent soldiers to try and find the child to kill him. God had blessed Zacharias and his barren wife with a son, John, who would turn the people toward God. Zacharias died when he could not reveal where his son, John, was hiding to Herod's soldiers.
