Herod the Great dies
Herod died at Jericho after a painful illness, five days after having his son Antipater executed. His kingdom was divided among three sons: Archelaus, Antipas, and Philip.
“Arise and take the young child and his mother, and go into the land of Israel, for those who sought the young child’s life are dead.”
Matthew 2:20 (World English Bible)
Josephus says that Herod, knowing the nation would rejoice at his death, ordered leading men to be killed when he died so that there would be mourning; the order was not carried out. An angel told Joseph in Egypt that those who had sought the child's life were dead.
