*
And when Herod had sought for him and could not find him ,
he examined the sentries and ordered that they should be put to death .
Then he went down from Judea to Caesare '
a ,
and remained there .
*
Now Herod was angry with the people of Tyre and Sidon ;
and they came to him in a body ,
and having persuaded Blastus ,
the king '
s chamberlain ,
they asked for peace ,
because their country depended on the king '
s country for food .
*
On an appointed day Herod put on his royal robes ,
took his seat upon the throne ,
and made an oration to them .
*
And the people shouted , "
The voice of a god ,
and not of man !"
*
Immediately an angel of the Lord smote him ,
because he did not give God the glory ;
and he was eaten by worms and died .
