Two thousand years ago in Palestine king Herod ordered the massacre of all children under the age of two years because he feared that a male child born at that time ,might eventually grow up to be king, the massacre was Herods attempt to try and ensure that this would never happen. This tragic episode became known as the massacre of the innocents. Now nearly two thousand years later, an Israeli archaeologist named ehud netzer from the hebrew university has claimed ,that after more than 30 years of searching he has located the tomb of king Herod, he located the tomb at Herodium which is south of Jerusalem. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/low/world/mi...st/6633979.stm

That was so cruel killing of small childrens on just an assumption that one of them might be a king to replace him.
Kings should be protectors of there kingdom not dictators.
