Compare all
7 Then Herod, when he had secretly called the1 wise men, determined from them what time the astar appeared.  
8 And he sent them to Bethlehem and said, “Go and search carefully for the young Child, and when you have found Him, bring back word to me, that I may come and worship Him also.”
9 When they heard the king, they departed; and behold, the star which they had seen in the East went before them, till it came and stood over where the young Child was.
10 When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceedingly great joy.
11 And when they had come into the house, they saw the young Child with Mary His mother, and fell down and worshiped Him. And when they had opened their treasures, athey presented gifts to Him: gold, frankincense, and myrrh.  
12 Then, being divinely warned ain a dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed for their own country another way.

Matthew 2:9

Went before them (prohgen autouv). Imperfect tense, kept on in front of them, not as a guide to the town since they now knew that, but to the place where the child was, the inn according to Luke 2:7. Justin Martyr says that it was in a cave. The stall where the cattle and donkeys stayed may have been beneath the inn in the side of the hill.
