Acts 12:20

[It was a time of political unrest, and] Herod was in bitter conflict with [the neighboring] people of [the Phoenician coastal cities] Tyre and Sidon. Together, [their representatives] came to the king [Herod Agrippa I, who was now back at his residence in Caesarea Maritima]. Once they had won over his chamberlain (closest advisor) Blastus, they asked for peace. They were dependent on the king's territory for their livelihood. [Phoenicia was dependent on grain supplies from the interior areas ruled by Herod Agrippa I. They finally reached an agreement, and Agrippa organized festivities to celebrate this.]
