In Matthew chapter 2, we read that the wise men had been directed by the star towards Bethlehem. So they came to Herod to enquire about this child that was said to be born 'King of the Jews'. They even told Herod of the prophecy about this child & all this caused Herod to become troubled that his rule would be compromised by the coming of another king. You can read the rest of that account in that chapter, of how Jesus' earthly family had to flee to Egypt, & Herod's subsequent anger in not being able to find this 'child king' so he ordered the killing of all the children under two years of age.
