Concise Bible Dictionary:
Fourth Roman emperor (A.D. 41-54). His full name was Tiberius Claudius Drusus Nero Germanicus. Herod Agrippa I used his influence in favor of Claudius being chosen as emperor, and in return for these efforts the emperor added to Agrippa’s territories Judaea, Samaria, and some parts of Lebanon. It was Claudius who, on account of a tumult of the Jews, banished all Jews from Rome. He was poisoned by his fourth wife Agrippina, the mother of Nero (Acts 11:28; Acts 18:2).
