Matthew 14:7-9

Expanded Bible

⁷ So he ·promised [announced] with ·an oath [a vow] to give her anything she ·wanted [asked]. ⁸ ·Herodias told her daughter what to ask for, so [At her mother’s urging/prompting] she said to Herod, “Give me the head of John the Baptist here on a platter.” ⁹ Although King Herod was very ·sad [sorry; grieved; distressed], he had made a ·promise [vow; oath], and his dinner guests had heard him. So Herod ·ordered [commanded] that what she asked for be done.
