Bernice
The daughter of Herod Agrippa I who accompanied her brother, Agrippa II, to hear Paul's defense in Caesarea.
Bernice was a member of the Herodian dynasty who attended the hearing of the Apostle Paul before Festus and her brother, Agrippa II. Her presence highlights the political context of Paul's trial and the curiosity of the ruling elite regarding his message. She is noted in Acts 25-26 as a witness to Paul's testimony of his conversion and ministry.
