Contextual Overview

14 And king Herod heard [thereof], for his name had become known. And they said, John the Baptist is risen from the dead, and therefore do these powers work in him. 15 But others said, It is Elijah. And others said, [It is] a prophet, [even] as one of the prophets. 16 But Herod, when he heard [thereof], said, John, whom I beheaded, he is risen. 17 For Herod himself had sent forth and laid hold on John, and bound him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife; for he had married her. 18 For John said to Herod, It is not lawful for you to have your brother's wife. 19 And Herodias set herself against him, and desired to kill him; and she could not; 20 for Herod feared John, knowing that he was a righteous and holy man, and kept him safe. And when he heard him, he was much perplexed; and he heard him gladly. 21 And when a convenient day came, that Herod on his birthday made a supper to his lords, and the generals, and the chief men of Galilee; 22 and when the daughter of Herodias herself came in and danced, she pleased Herod and those that sat to eat with him; the king said to the girl, Ask of me whatever you will, and I will give it to you. 23 And he emphatically swore to her, Whatever you shall ask of me, I will give it you, to the 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.
