Acts 12:19-23

19And when HerodG2264 had soughtG1934 for him, and foundG2147 him not, he examined the guardsG5441, and commandedG2753 that they should be put to death. And he went downG2718 from Judæa to Cæsarea, and tarried there.

20NowG1161 he wasG1510 highly displeased with them of Tyre and Sidon: and they came with oneG3661 accordG3661 to him, and, having made Blastus the king’sG935 chamberlain their friend, they askedG154 for peaceG1515, because their countryG5561 wasG1510 fedG5142 from the king’sG935 countryG5561. 21And upon a set dayG2250 HerodG2264 arrayed himself in royalG937 apparelG2066, and satG2523 on the throne, and made an oration unto them. 22And the people shouted, saying, The voiceG5456 of a godG2316, and not of a manG444. 23And immediatelyG3916 an angelG32 of the LordG2962 smote him, because he gaveG1325 not GodG2316 the gloryG1391: and he was eaten of worms, and gaveG1325 up the ghost.
