4 For John said to him, It is not lawful for thee to have her:

6 The festivities of Herod's birthday being celebrated, the daughter of Herodias danced in the midst, and pleased Herod.
7 Wherefore, with an oath, he agreed to give her whatever she should ask.

9 And the king was grieved: but for his oath, and those reclining together at the table, he ordered to be given.
10 And having sent, he beheaded John in the prison.
