Concise Bible Dictionary
:
Son
of
Agrippa
I. Being only 17 years old at his
father
’s
death
, the emperor
Claudius
sent him to rule over the
principality
of Chalcis in the slopes of
Lebanon
until he should come of
age
. He had been brought up at the court of
Rome
, and was attached to the Romans. At the age of 21 Claudius gave him the tetrarchies of
Trachonitis
,
Abilene
, and other parts of the
North
East
of
Palestine
. Nero afterward gave him various cities. He is introduced in
Acts 25:26
26
Of whom I have no certain thing to write unto my lord. Wherefore I have brought him forth before you, and specially before thee, O king Agrippa, that, after examination had, I might have somewhat to write. (Acts 25:26)
, as king Agrippa, before whom
Paul
made his defense. Paul said of him that he was expert in all customs and questions which were among the Jews. The things concerning Christ’s death had not been done in a corner, and the king knew of them. Paul knew also that he believed
the prophets
. Agrippa said, “Almost thou persuadest me to be a
Christian
.” Paul, like a true
evangelist
, desired that Agrippa and all that heard him should be altogether such as he was, save his bonds. Agrippa had a long reign, and used his influence when the Jews were in rebellion against the Romans, to induce them to submit. While appealing to them at Gamala he was wounded by a stone cast from a
sling
. He survived the
destruction
of
Jerusalem
and died A.D. 100.
