Mathew doesn't say Jesus was born during the reign of Herod the Great. He said that Jesus was born during the reign of Herod. Herod Antipater was named to the throne after the death of Herod the Great in 4 BC and died in 39 AD.

Actually..Herod the Great's sons were never kings.. they were Tetrarchs, governors.

Whatever you want to call him, he became ruler over that part of the kingdom after Herod the Great died.
