The Holy Spirit doesn't use His Word in a casual manner...i.e., saying one thing while meaning something different. So when the Holy Spirit uses Luke to write His Word in Acts (specifically Acts 12:23) and says, Immediately, then I would hesitate to imply any length of time attributed to Herod giving up the ghost. For not only are you challenging the accuracy of Holy Scriptures, but worse you are in peril of adding to or taking away that which has been given by the Holy Spirit; and stand accursed before God.
