19And, when Herod had made further search for him and failed to find him, he closely questioned the Guard, and ordered them away to execution. Then he went down from Judea to stay at Caesarea.
20It happened that Herod was deeply offended with the people of Tyre and Sidon, but they went in a body to him, and, having succeeded in winning over Blastus, the Chamberlain, they begged Herod for a reconciliation, because their country was dependent on the king's for its food supply.
21On an appointed day Herod, wearing his state robes, seated himself on his throne, and delivered an oration.
22The people kept shouting, “It is the voice of God, and not of a person!”
23Instantly an angel of the Lord struck him, because he did not give God the glory; and he was attacked with worms, and died.
24Meanwhile the Lord's message kept extending, and spreading far and wide.
