Herodium.
Herod’s fortified palace was built on the hill that had the top cut off. After the palace was built the earth was piled up against the walls to make a steep slope.
In the shadow of this palace, a King was born in Bethlehem.
What a contrast!
Luke 2:11-14 (NIV)
Today in the town of David a Saviour has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord. This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger." Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying, "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men on whom his favour rests."
