Acts 12:19-23

19When Herod had searched for him and had not found him, he examined the guards and ordered that they 1be led away to execution. Then he went down from Judea to 2Caesarea and was spending time there.

20Now he was very angry with the people of 3Tyre and Sidon; and with one mind they came to him, and having won over Blastus the king’s chamberlain, they were asking for peace, because 4their country was supported with grain from the king’s country. 21On an appointed day, after putting on his royal apparel, Herod took his seat on the 5rostrum and began delivering an address to them. 22The people repeatedly cried out, “The voice of a god and not of a man!” 23And immediately 6an angel of the Lord struck him because he did not give God the glory, and he was eaten by worms and 7died.
