King Agrippa This phrase introduces us to King Agrippa II, the last of the Herodian dynasty, who ruled over parts of Judea. His full name was Herod Agrippa II, and he was the son of Herod Agrippa I, mentioned earlier in Acts. Agrippa II was known for his knowledge of Jewish customs and laws, which is why Paul was eager to present his case before him. Historically, Agrippa II was a client king of the Roman Empire, which means he had limited power and was subject to Roman authority. His presence in this narrative highlights the political complexities of Judea under Roman rule and the strategic approach Paul took in his defense.
