Act 24:24 | PNT | STEP | Felix came with his wife Drusilla . This woman, a Jewess, was the daughter of the Herod who died miserably at Caesarea ( ), and the sister of King Agrippa and Bernice ( ). She was very beautiful and very profligate, had been the wife of Azizus, the king of Emesa, but had left him and married Felix. Perhaps the interest she felt in Paul was due to the fact that her father had been a persecutor of the Christians, had died a singular death, and this had been pronounced a judgment.

Acts 24:24

Felix came with his wife Drusilla. This woman, a Jewess, was the daughter of the Herod who died miserably at Caesarea (Ac 12:23), and the sister of King Agrippa and Bernice (Ac 25:23). She was very beautiful and very profligate, had been the wife of Azizus, the king of Emesa, but had left him and married Felix. Perhaps the interest she felt in Paul was due to the fact that her father had been a persecutor of the Christians, had died a singular death, and this had been pronounced a judgment.
