Acts 12:21-23
Amplified Bible
21 On an appointed day Herod dressed himself in his [a]royal robes, sat on his throne (tribunal, rostrum) and began delivering a speech to the people. 22 The assembled people kept shouting, “It is the voice of a god and not of a man!” 23 And at once an angel of the Lord struck him down because he did not give God the glory [and instead permitted himself to be worshiped], and [b]he was eaten by worms and died [five days later].
