KJV - Matthew 2:16

Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked of the wise men, was exceeding wroth, and sent forth, and slew all the children that were in Bethlehem, and in all the coasts thereof, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had diligently enquired of the wise men.

Then Herod got very angry when the wise men made fun of him. He ordered the killing of all the children in Bethlehem and its surrounding areas who were two years old or younger, after asking the wise men for a specific time.
