What prophecy was fulfilled in the slaughter of the children of Bethlehem?

Answer

"Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked of the wise men, was exceeding wroth, and sent forth, and
slew all the children that were in Bethlehem, and in all the coasts thereof, from two years old and under,
according to the time which he had diligently inquired of the wise men. Then was fulfilled that which was

great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children, and would not be comforted, because they are not." Matt.
