Agrippa
The Herodian king who heard Paul's defense and declared him innocent of any crime deserving death.
Agrippa II was the last of the Herodian rulers, governing parts of Judea under Roman authority. He is significant for hearing the Apostle Paul's testimony in Caesarea, where he acknowledged Paul's innocence despite the accusations of the Jewish leaders. His interaction with Paul highlights the legal complexities of the early church's mission and the spread of the Gospel to political authorities.
