Why did Herod try to kill Jesus?
Because he mistakenly thought that His was an eartly kingdom aiming at overturning him from his position of power. Also i notice now his anger frustration that two simple people like Joseph and Mary and the tiny baby could have escaped his powerful army. There is also spite and hatred in killing the innocents like he was exacting a revenge on every single one for having missed his real target. Amen for all the souls of the little ones.

Why did Herod try to kill Jesus?
As evil as King Herod was, he was also politically astute and he was trying to protect himself and his kingdom by killing anyone who could possibly present a threat to him.

Why did Herod try to kill Jesus?
One reason is that he feared being overthrown as a power hungry person as portrayed in the current political suituation in many nations. The other reason is that it has to happen to fulfill the prophecy of the prophets who said the prophet would live in Egypt.

The Escape to Egypt

Now when they had departed, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream, saying, "Arise and take the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and stay there until I tell you, for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him."
He arose and took the young child and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt, and was there until the death of Herod; that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying, "Out of Egypt I called my son."
Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked by the wise men, was exceedingly angry, and sent out, and killed all the male children who were in Bethlehem and in all the surrounding countryside, from two years old and under, according to the exact time which he had learned from the wise men. Then that which was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled, saying,
"A voice was heard in Ramah,
lamentation, weeping and great mourning,
Rachel weeping for her children;
she wouldn't be comforted,
because they are no more."

Matthew 2:13-18
