Contextual Overview

14 And Herod the king heard, for His name became publicly known. And he said, John the Baptist has been raised from the dead, and because of this the works of power operate in Him. 15 Others said, He is Elijah; and others said, He is a prophet or as one of the prophets. 16 But hearing, Herod said, This one is John whom I beheaded. He has risen from the dead. 17 For having sent, Herod himself had seized John and bound him in the prison, because of Herodias the wife of his brother Philip, because he had married her. 18 For John had said to Herod, It is not lawful for you to have the wife of your brother. 19 And Herodias held it against him, and desired to kill him, but was not able. 20 For Herod feared John, knowing him to be a holy and just man, and kept him safe. And hearing him, he did many things, and gladly heard from him. 21 And a suitable day having come, when Herod made a dinner for his great ones on his birthday, also the chiliarchs, and the first ones of Galilee. 22 And the daughter of Herodias herself entering, and having danced, she also pleased Herod and those reclining with him . The king said to the girl, Ask me whatever you wish, and I will give it to you. 23 And he swore to her, Whatever you ask me, I will give to you, up to half of my kingdom.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And when the daughter of the said Herodias came in,.... To the hall, where Herod and his guests were, after supper was over; or rather, whilst at it: she is called the daughter of Herodias, and not of Herod; she having had her not by him, but by his brother Philip: her name is thought to be Salome; :-,

and danced and pleased Herod, and them that were with him; at supper, his lords, captains, and principal men in his dominions;

:-.

The king said unto the damsel, ask of me whatsoever thou wilt, and I will give it thee; which shows how exceedingly pleased he was; and the more, in that she gave such general pleasure to his whole company.
