20 Herod was then making warlike preparations against the Tyrians, and Sidonians: but they unanimously sent a deputation to court: where having gain'd Blastus the king's chamberlain, they brought matters to an accommodation: for their country was subsisted by the king's territorys. 21 one court-day, Herod array'd in his robes of state, and seated upon the throne, made a publick oration: 22 at which the people gave a shout, saying, it is the voice of a God, and not of a man. 23 but at the instant an angel of the Lord smote him, because he did not glorify God: so that he became a prey to worms and died. In the mean time, the Acts 12:20-23, Mace New Testament. Public domain.
