And when he heard him, he did many things, and heard him gladly. … 22 And when Herodias’ daughter herself came in and danced, and pleased Herod and those who sat with him, the king said to the girl, “Ask me whatever you want, and I will give it to you.” …” 26And the king was exceedingly sorry; yet, because of the oaths and because of those who sat with him, he did not want to refuse her.
