Acts 12:21
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
On the appointed day, Herod donned his royal robes, sat on his throne, and addressed the people.
In context
19 After Herod had searched for him unsuccessfully, he examined the guards and ordered that they be executed. Then he went down from Judea to Caesarea and spent some time there.
20 Now Herod was in a furious dispute with the people of Tyre and Sidon, and they convened before him. Having secured the support of Blastus, the king’s chamberlain, they asked for peace, because their region depended on the king’s country for food.
21 On the appointed day, Herod donned his royal robes, sat on his throne, and addressed the people.
22 And they began to shout, “This is the voice of a god, not a man!”
23 Immediately, because Herod did not give glory to God, an angel of the Lord struck him down, and he was eaten by worms and died.
