20Herode was displeased with them of Tyre and Sydon. And they came all at once and made intercession vnto Blastus the kynges chamberlen and desyred peace because their countrey was norysshed by the kynges londe.
21And upon a daye appoynted Herode arayed him in royall apparell and set him in his seate and made an oraycon vnto them.
22And the people gave a shoute sayinge: it is the voyce of a God and not of a man.
23And immediatly the angell of the Lorde smote him because he gave not God the honoure and he was eatyn of wormes and gave vp the goost.
