Herod Agrippa II

King of Philip's former tetrarchy, AD 53–92Reigned about 40 years

King in Galilee and Perea, AD 54–92Reigned about 38 years

Son of Agrippa I and the last of the Herods to rule. Claudius gave him Philip's former tetrarchy in AD 53, and Nero added parts of Galilee and Perea. With his sister Bernice he heard Paul's defense at Caesarea and said Paul could have been released if he had not appealed to Caesar (Acts 26:32). He sided with Rome in the Jewish war. His rule is thought to have ended about AD 92, though some sources put his death about AD 100.

Nero gave Agrippa II the cities of Tiberias and Tarichaea in Galilee and Julias in Perea, added to his northern kingdom.
