Herod’s Death

²⁰ He had been very angry with the Tyrians and Sidonians.^[a] Together they presented themselves before him. They won over Blastus, who was in charge of the king’s bedroom, and through him they asked for peace, because their country was supplied with food from the king’s country.^{(B) 21} So on an appointed day, dressed in royal robes and seated on the throne, Herod delivered a public address to them.
