Acts 12:18-20

Expanded Bible

¹⁸ The next ·day [or morning] ·the soldiers were very upset [^Lthere was no small commotion among the soldiers; ^Csoldiers who allowed a prisoner to escape would suffer the prisoner’s punishment] and wondered what had happened to Peter. ¹⁹ Herod ·looked [searched] everywhere for him but could not find him. So he questioned the guards and ordered that they be ·killed [^Lled away; ^Cpresumably to be executed].

The Death of Herod Agrippa

Later Herod ·moved [or took a trip] from Judea and went to the city of Caesarea, where he stayed. ²⁰ Herod was very angry with the people of Tyre and Sidon [^Cmajor cities on the Phoenician coast north of Israel], but the people of those cities all ·came in a group [or agreed together to come] to him. After convincing Blastus, the ·king’s personal servant [chamberlain; ^Lone in charge of his bedroom], to ·be on their side [or support their position], they asked Herod for peace, because their country got its food from his country.
