Obviously, the town where Jesus was born, according to the story....where else?

The massacre of the innocents

''If the soothsayers of the time were correct, the birth of a new King of the Jews was imminent and threatened Herod's position.

In the massacre of newborn babies of Bethlehem found in the Nativity story, King Herod is portrayed as a tyrant prepared to kill infants who could eventually challenge him.

''In fact, demographic clues from first century Palestine reveal that Bethlehem was a small village, with a population between three hundred and a thousand. Experts estimate that, at any given time, the number of babies under the age of two would be only between seven and twenty. So numbers alone may be the reason why Josephus does not mention the murders.''

The 12 tribes of Israel lived in Palestine(Roman era) and not just Bethlehem.
