People's Commentary (NT)
Matthew 14:7
He promised with an oath to give her whatever she would ask. Herod
confirms his promise by an oath. It was a common custom to reward a
dancer or actor, on a great occasion like this, who pleased, and to ask
what they wished. Herod knew that Salome danced because she had a
request to make.
