Answer Details
When Jesus was born in Bethlehem, the King of Judea was Herod the Great. He was a Roman client king who ruled over Judea from 37 BC until his death in 4 BC. According to the Gospel of Matthew, Herod the Great was the king who ordered the massacre of the infants in Bethlehem in an attempt to kill the baby Jesus. However, Herod died shortly after the birth of Jesus, and the Holy Family was able to escape to Egypt to avoid being killed by Herod's soldiers.
