  Drusilla 
  third  and  youngest  daughter  of  Herod  Agrippa  I.  (Acts  12:1-4,

  leave  her  husband,  Azizus  the  king  of  Emesa,  and  become  his 
  wife.  She  was  present  with  Felix  when  Paul  reasoned  of 
  "righteousness,  temperance,  and  judgment  to  come"  (Acts  24:24). 
  She  and  her  son  perished  in  the  eruption  of  Mount  Vesuvius,  A.D. 
  79.
