26 And although he[a] was deeply grieved, the king, because of his[b] oaths and dinner guests,[c] did not want to refuse her. 27 And immediately the king sent an executioner and[d] ordered him[e] to bring his head. And he went and[f] beheaded him in the prison. 28 And he brought his head on a platter and gave it to the girl, and the girl gave it to her mother.
