acts 12:19 And when Herod had sought for him, and found him not, he examined the keepers, and commanded that they should be put to death. And he went down from Judaea to Caesarea, and there abode.

acts 12:19 And when Herod had searched for him and had not found him, he examined the guards and ordered that they be led away [to execution]. And he went down from Judea to Caesarea and was spending time there.

19. examined the keepers--who, either like the keepers of our Lord's sepulchre, had "shaken and become as dead men" (Mt 28:4), or had slept on their watch and been divinely kept from awaking.
commanded that they should be put to death--Impotent vengeance!

acts 12:19 And when Herod had searched for him and had not found him, he examined the guards and ordered that they be led away [to execution]. And he went down from Judea to Caesarea and was spending time there.
