Matthew chapter 2 continues dealing with the early childhood of Jesus with the visitation of the Babylonian magi.  However, the star that once led them has disappeared; so, they go to the naturally expected birth of a king, Jerusalem.  Herod questions his scribes and priests if there is such a prophecy.  They affirm this, quoting Malachi.  Herod calls the magi and gives them this information and asks them to report back once they find the Messiah-child.  The star reappears and guides the magi to Joseph’s house where they worship Him and bring Him gifts. They then depart a different way from which they came.  This enraged Herod and he sends to kill all babies 2 years and under in Bethlehem.  God also warns Joseph to take Mary and Jesus to Egypt because Herod will attempt to kill Him.   After Herod dies, God calls Joseph to return to Israel and raise Jesus in Nazareth.
