Notes: It would be wrong to render the expression ‘who was in charge of the king’s bedroom’ in RV ACT 12:20 · LV ACT 12:20 · Read together ACT 12:20 as meaning simply one who kept the bedroom clean. A person such as Blastus would have been a highly respected person with considerable responsibility for the king’s living quarters and personal affairs. The expression may be adequately rendered in RV ACT 12:20 · LV ACT 12:20 · Read together ACT 12:20 by speaking of Blastus as ‘a high official.’

20 Now King Herodes (Herod) was disputing with the people of Tsor (Tyre) and Tsidon (Sidon), and so they got together and persuaded Blastos, a close personal servant of the king, to be their spokesman in asking for peace because they were dependent on food from the king’s provinces.
