Seized with fear that a new rival might take his throne, King Herod anxiously awaited word from the foreign travelers. Days passed and there was no news. Eventually he learned that the dignitaries had given gifts to a baby King and had left Bethlehem without reporting back to him as he had asked. Acting in ruthless rage, King Herod ordered all children in Bethlehem who were two years old or younger to be slain (Matt. 2:16). - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
