Williams⁽ⁱ⁾ ²⁵ Then she rushed at once before the king, and made this request, "I want you this very minute to give me John the Baptist's head on a platter." ²⁶ The king, although exceedingly sorry, yet on account of his oath and his guests, did not like to refuse her, ²⁷ and so at once ordered a soldier of his guard to bring his head.
