19Well after searching for him and not finding him, Herod examined the guards and ordered that they be executed. Going down from Judea to Caesarea, he stayed there.
20Now Herod was very angry with the people of Tyre and Sidon; so they came with one accord to him, and having won over Blastus, the king's chamberlain, they asked for peace, because their country was supplied with food from the king's.
21So on an appointed day Herod, arrayed in royal apparel, sat on the throne and started to deliver an address to them.
22But the crowd started calling out, “The voice of a god and not of a man!”
23Immediately an angel of the Lord struck him down, because he did not give glory to God, and being eaten by worms, he died.
