Herod was seriously mad at the people from Tyre and Sidon. But they knew they needed to fix this situation, so they all came together and got on Blastus's good side (he was basically Herod's right-hand man). They were asking for peace because their cities depended on Herod's territory for food and supplies.

But they gave in to their intense cravings while in the wilderness, and they tested God's patience in the desert.
