Acts 12:20

Herod's Gruesome Death

¹⁹ After Herod had searched and did not find him, he interrogated the guards and ordered their execution. Then Herod went down from Judea to Caesarea and stayed there. ²⁰ He had been very angry with the Tyrians and Sidonians. Together they presented themselves before him. They won over Blastus, who was in charge of the king’s bedroom, and through him they asked for peace, because their country was supplied with food from the king’s country. ²¹ So on an appointed day, dressed in royal robes and seated on the throne, Herod delivered a public address to them.
