Thomson⁽ⁱ⁾ ²³ nay, he swore to her, Whatever thou shalt ask of me, I will give, even to the half of my kingdom. ²⁴ Upon this she went out and said to her mother, What shall I ask? And she said, The head of John the baptist. ²⁵ So coming in immediately with all haste to the king, she made her request, saying, I desire thee to give me forthwith, in a basin, the head of John the baptist. ²⁶ Though the king was much grieved, yet from a regard to his oaths, and his guests, he would not refuse her.
