19And Herod, when he sent for him, and he was not there, after questioning the watchmen, gave orders that they were to be put to death. Then he went down from Judaea to Caesarea for a time.

21And on the day which had been fixed, Herod, dressed in his robes and seated in his place, made a public statement to them.
22And the people, with loud cries, said, It is the voice of a god, not of a man.
23And straight away the angel of the Lord sent a disease on him, because he did not give the glory to God: and his flesh was wasted away by worms, and so he came to his end.
