And when he had thus spoken, the king rose up, and the governor, and Bernice, and they that sat with them:
After Paul finished talking, King Agrippa stood up, along with the governor, Bernice, and everyone else who had been sitting there listening.

📚 Historical Context
In the book of Acts, the apostle Paul was imprisoned and brought before King Agrippa II, Governor Festus, and others for a hearing after appealing his case to Caesar. During this defense, Paul boldly shared his testimony about his conversion and faith in Jesus, as described in the preceding verses. This moment in Acts 26:30 marks the conclusion of Paul's speech, with the king and officials rising, indicating the end of the session in a Roman provincial court around AD 60.
