Herod had always benn mad. Some say it ran in the family. His sons were mad as well. When he heard about Jesus being born, he was terrified. If he was the King of the Jews, what would become of him? He asked the Magis where Jesus was, but they refused to tell him. He decided that he would have evry male child and every child under the age of 2 dead. Once Jesus was born, Herod died soon after and his son, also named Herod, took over. He was the one who questioned Jesus at his death trial.
