I thought the point was that being born in a barn (or cave or whatever) and placed in a manger was to show that the Jews rejected him, and then the wise men come from the east shows that he would be worshipped by gentiles…
it's not the jews rejecting. it's about the king's rule and laws that make it necessary for the birth to be "on the road"
