king of Judea, the son of See also:Aristobulus and See also:Berenice, and See also:grandson of Herod the See also:Great, was See also:born about to B.C. His See also:original name was See also:Marcus See also:Julius Agrippa. See also:Josephus informs us that, after the See also:murder of his See also:father, Herod the Great sent him to See also:Rome to the See also:court of Tiberius, who conceived a great See also:affection for him, and placed him near his son See also:Drusus, whose favour he very soon won. On the See also:death of Drusus, Agrippa, who had been recklessly extravagant, was obliged to leave Rome, overwhelmed with See also:debt. After a brief seclusion, Herod the See also:Tetrarch, his See also:uncle, who had married Herodias, his See also:sister, made him Agoranomos (Overseer of Markets) of See also:Tiberias, and presented him with a large sum of See also:money; but his uncle being unwilling to continue his support, Agrippa See also:left Judea for See also:Antioch and soon after returned to Rome, where he was welcomed by Tiberius and became the See also:constant campanion of the See also:emperor See also:Gaius (Caligula), then a popular favourite. Agrippa being one See also:day overheard by See also:Eutyches, a slave whom he had made See also:free, to See also:express a wish for Tiberius' death and the See also:advancement of Gaius, was betrayed to the emperor and See also:cast into See also:prison. In A.D. 37 Caligula, having ascended the See also:throne, heaped See also:wealth and favours upon Agrippa, set a royal diadem upon his See also:head and gave him the tetrarchy of Batanaea and Trachonitis, which See also:- PHILIP

Philip, the See also:soil of Herod the Great, had formerly possessed. To this he added that held by See also:Lysanias; and Agrippa returned very soon into Judea to take See also:possession of his new See also:kingdom. In A.D. 39 he returned to Rome and brought about the banishment of Herod Antipas, to whose tetrarchy he succeeded. On the assp.ssination of Caligula (A.D. 41) Agrippa contributed much by his See also:advice to maintain See also:Claudius in possession of the imperial dignity, while he made a show of being in the See also:interest of the See also:senate. The emperor, in See also:acknowledgment, gave him the See also:government of Judea, while the kingdom of See also:Chalcis in See also:Lebanon was at his See also:request given to his See also:brother Herod. Thus Agrippa became one of the greatest princesof the See also:east, the territory he possessed equalling in extent that held by Herod the Great. He returned to Judea and governed it to the great See also:satisfaction of the See also:Jews. His zeal, private and public, for Judaism is celebrated by Josephus and the rabbis; and the narrative of Acts xii. gives a typical example of it.

Peter and imprisoned him. After the Passover he went to Caesarea, where he had See also:games performed in See also:honour of Claudius, and the inhabitants of See also:Tyre and See also:Sidon waited on him to See also:sue for See also:peace. According to the See also:story in Acts xii., Agrippa, gorgeously arrayed, received them in the See also:theatre, and addressed them from a throne, while the See also:audience cried out that his was the See also:voice of a See also:god. But " the See also:angel of the See also:Lord smote him," and shortly afterwards he died " eaten of See also:worms." The story in Acts differs slightly from that in Josephus, who describes how in the midst of his elation he saw an See also:owl perched over his head. During his confinement by Tiberius a like See also:omen had been interpreted as portending his speedy See also:release, with the warning that should he behold the same sight again he would See also:die within five days. He was immediately smitten with violent pains, and after a few days died. Josephus says nothing of his being " eaten of worms," but the discrepancies between the two stories are of slight moment. A third See also:account omits all the apocryphal elements in the story and says that Agrippa was assassinated by the See also:Romans, who objected to his growing See also:power.
