19 And when Herod had searched for him and had not found him, he examined the guards and ordered that they (A)be led away to execution. Then he went down from Judea to (B)Caesarea and was spending time there.
The Death of Herod
20 Now he was very angry with the people of (C)Tyre and Sidon; and with one accord they came to him, and having won over Blastus the king’s chamberlain, they were asking for peace, because (D)their country was fed by the king’s country. 21 And on an appointed day Herod, having put on his royal apparel and sitting on the judgment seat, began delivering an address to them. 22 And the assembly kept crying out, “The voice of a god and not of a man!” 23 And immediately (E)an angel of the [a]Lord struck him because he did not give God the glory, and he was eaten by worms and breathed his last.
24 But (F)the word of the Lord continued to grow and to be multiplied.

Acts 12:19-24
American Standard Version
19 And when Herod had sought for him, and found him not, he examined the guards, and commanded that they should be [a]put to death. And he went down from Judaea to Caesarea, and tarried there.
20 Now he was highly displeased with them of Tyre and Sidon: and they came with one accord to him, and, having made Blastus the king’s chamberlain their friend, they asked for peace, because their country was fed from the king’s country. 21 And upon a set day Herod arrayed himself in royal apparel, and sat on the [b]throne, and made an oration unto them. 22 And the people shouted, saying, The voice of a god, and not of a man. 23 And immediately an angel of the Lord smote him, because he gave not God the glory: and he was eaten of worms, and gave up the ghost.
24 But the word of God grew and multiplied.
