When did Herod kill the babies?
A:There is no historical evidence that King Herod ever killed any infants. Even the Jewish historian, Josephus does not mention such an episode, although he documents everything he could record to the detriment of Herod. Scholars believe the nativity account in Matthew's Gospel, where this story is told, is only a literary invention with no historical basis. They point out that the author of Matthewhad drawn several parallels between Moses and Jesus, so the story of King Herod killing all the babies under two years old parallels the Old Testament story of the Pharaoh killing all the babies under two years old.
When did the massacre of infants under King Herod occur?
If there was indeed a massacre of infants under King Herod, it must have been well before his death, because Herod would not have been so concerned about a potential rival in his last few months, when he knew he was dying Herod died in April 4 BCE, so the slaughter would have probably have occurred no later than 6 BCE. Because Matthew says Herod was so unsure how old Jesus might have been that he had all infant boys under two years old slaughtered, Jesus would seem to have died a year or two earlier than this.On the other hand the first-century Jewish historian, Josephus, when condemning Herod for every wrong of which he knew, never mentions what would have been Herod's most heinous act. Modern biblical scholars say that the story of Herod's 'Slaughter of the Innocents' was actually based on the Old Testament story of Moses, in which the pharaoh ordered all the infant boys under two years old to be slaughtered.

What was Herod solution to the problem of a challenger to his throne?
King Herod was a ruthless tyrant and would have destroyed anyone who appeared at all likely to challenge his position on the throne. He had two of his own sons, Alexandros and Aristobulos, strangled on suspicion of treason.According to Matthew's Gospel, King Herod feared that Jesus would become a challenger to his throne, because the visiting magi called Jesus the king of the Jews. In this story, Herod had all the boys under two years old,in the region of Bethlehem, killed. Most New Testament scholars consider this nativity account to be Christian midrash. Robert M. Price (The Christ Myth Theory and Its Problems) says Matthew seems to have borrowed from Josephus' version of the nativity of Moses.
Why did king Herod wait until Jesus was two years old to look for Him?
AnswerThe Bible does not say that King Herod waited until Jesus was two years old before he looked for him. Matthew's Gospel, in which this story appears, merely says that when Herod realised that the magi were not returning, he ordered all the infants under two years old to be slaughtered. This has led some to believe that Jesus could have been up to two years old. John Shelby Spong (Born of a Woman: A bishop rethinks the birth of Jesus) says that Matthew was clearly writing Christian midrash. He had Joseph take his family to Egypt just as the patriarch Joseph had done, in order to escape death, and the killing of all male babies reflects Moses. On the view of Spong and many other biblical scholars, King Herod knew nothing of the birth of Jesus.
