The nominative form identifies the named king as an actor: in Acts 25:13 the APB renders his arrival with Bernice, and in Acts 26:1 it renders him granting Paul permission to speak. The vocative form directly addresses him as king in Acts 25:24, Acts 26:2, and Acts 26:27, while the genitive form occurs in the account of his arrival in Acts 25:23.
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the name as “Agrippa” when identifying the speaker or participant and as “King Agrippa” in direct address. The royal title reflects the clause’s presentation rather than a separate rendering claim for the name itself.
