* And Herod having sought him and not found him , having examined the guards , commanded [them ] to be executed . And he went down from Judaea to Caesarea and stayed [there ]. * And he was in bitter hostility with [the ] Tyrians and Sidonians ; but they came to him with one accord , and , having gained Blastus the king 's chamberlain , sought peace , because their country was nourished by the king 's . * And on a set day , clothed in royal apparel and sitting on the elevated seat [of honour ], Herod made a public oration to them . * And the people cried out , A god 's voice and not a man 's . * And immediately an angel of [the ] Lord smote him , because he did not give the glory to God , and he expired , eaten of worms .
