12:20 Now Herod 1 was having an angry quarrel 2 with the people of Tyre 3 and Sidon. 4 So they joined together 5 and presented themselves before him. And after convincing 6 Blastus, the king’s personal assistant, 7 to help them, 8 they asked for peace, 9 because their country’s food supply was provided by the king’s country. 12:21 On a day determined in advance, Herod 10 put on his royal robes, 11 sat down on the judgment seat, 12 and made a speech 13 to them. 12:22 But the crowd 14 began to shout, 15 “The voice of a god, 16 and not of a man!” 12:23 Immediately an angel of the Lord 17 struck 18 Herod 19 down because he did not give the glory to God, and he was eaten by worms and died. 20
