Herod {\cf2\super [29]} saw that the wise men had fooled him. Herod was very, very angry. So Herod gave an order to kill all the boys in Bethlehem and in all the area around Bethlehem. Herod had learned from the wise men the time \{the baby was born\}. It was now two years from that time. So Herod said to kill all the boys that were two years old and younger.
