Mark 6:21 DBY

¹⁹  But Herodias kept it [in her mind] against him, and wished to kill him, and could not:

²⁰  for Herod feared John knowing that he was a just and holy man, and kept him safe; and having heard him, did many things, and heard him gladly.

²¹  And a holiday being come, when Herod, on his birthday, made a supper to his grandees, and to the chiliarchs, and the chief [men] of Galilee;

²²  and the daughter of the same Herodias having come in, and danced, pleased Herod and those that were with [him] at table; and the king said to the damsel, Ask of me whatsoever thou wilt and I will give it thee.

²³  And he swore to her, Whatsoever thou shalt ask me I will give thee, to half of my kingdom.
