⁶到了 希律的 生日 ，希罗底 的女儿 在 众人面前 跳舞 ，使希律 欢喜 。

⁶But when Herod's birthday was kept, the daughter of Herodias danced before them, and pleased Herod.

⁶ Verse 6. Herod's birth-day] Either the day in which he was

born, or the day on which he began to reign; for both were termed

birth-days. See 1Sa 13:1, and Ho 7:5. The kings of Persia

were accustomed to reject no petition that was preferred to them

during the entertainment. See Herodotus in Calliope, and

Es 5:3.



The daughter-danced] This was Salome, mentioned before.

Danced: by a literal rendering of the saltavit of the Vulgate, in

my old MS. of the English Bible, the whole of this business seems

to be treated with sovereign contempt: for thus says the

translator, Shee leped in the myddle.
