According to the New Testament, King Herod in the time of Jesus was struck down by an angel of the Lord and consumed by worms because he did not give glory to God. This event is described in Acts 12:21-23. It serves as a reminder of the consequences of pride and lack of humility in the face of divine power.

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.
