It was Herod "The Great" that ordered the death of all newborn male children in Bethlehem. This, in anticipation of fulfillment of the prophecy of the coming birth of a "King of the Jews" in that city. Jerico is aka "Ariha", located just a bit northwest of the northern tip of the "Dead Sea". He was reportedly of Arab orgin on both sides of his parenthood.
