*
And Herod ,
when he had sought for him and found him not ,
examined the keepers ,
and commanded that they should be led away .
And he went down from Judea to Caesarea ,
and there abode .
*
And he was highly displeased with the Tyrians and Sidonians ;
but they came to him with one accord ,
and having made Blastus the king
s chamberlain their friend ,
sued for peace ;
because their country drew its nourishment from that of the king .
*
And on a day appointed ,
Herod ,
having arrayed himself in royal apparel ,
and taken his seat on the throne ,
made a speech to them .
*
And thereupon the people shouted ,
The voice of a god ,
and not of a man !
*
But immediately an angel of the Lord smote him ,
because he gave not God the glory ,
and he was eaten by worms ,
and expired .
