He said,“‘ But you, Bethlehem, in the land of Judah, are certainly not the least important among the towns of Judah. A ruler will come out of you. He will rule my people Israel like a shepherd.’ ”( Micah 5:2)Then Herod secretly called for the Wise Men. He found out from them exactly when the star had appeared.He sent them to Bethlehem.
