2 | slew the children of bethlehem | Matt 2:16 | Schmythe | 89578 | ||
I'm not sure what version your bible is but I have an NIV and it says "When Herod realized that he had been outwitted by the Magi, he was furious, and he gave orders to kill all the boys in Bethlehem and its vicinity who were two years old and under, in accordance with the time he had learned from the Magi." Basically this was after Herod had heared that the King of the Jews was to be born at this time. He sent the Magi to find Christ, and then they were to tell Herod where to find him. Once Herod found Christ he planned to kill him. When the Magi left without telling him the location he thought he would play it safe and kill all the children that might be around Christ's age. I hope this helps | ||||||
