Contextual Overview
14During this, King Herod heard about everything Jesus was doing. Some were telling him John the Baptist had been raised from the dead to do miracles
15and others said Jesus was Elijah or a new cowboy of God like there used to be in the olden days.
16But when Herod heard all the rumors he said, "I cut off John the Baptist's head and now he has come back!"
17Herod was quite a fright because he had had John arrested and killed because he'd made a promise to his wife. That old gal was a burr under his saddle blanket because she made him kill John.
18John had criticized Herod for marrying her in the first place. This wasn't just some gal off the street. She had been married to Herod's brother, Philip. It was against God's law to marry your brother's wife if he was still alive and Philip was still kicking around somewhere.
19So Herodias (Herod's no-account wife) held a grudge against John and wanted to kill him,
20but Herod had kind of taken a liking to a cowboy like John who spoke the truth and rode for God. He didn't really know what to think about the things that John said, but he liked listening to him.
21So on Herod's birthday, he threw himself a party and all the important people in his kingdom came to it.
22Herodias's daughter came in and danced for the king. He took such a liking to it that he slipped up and said she could have anything she wanted
23—even up to half of his 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.
