Contextual Overview

14 And king Herode hearde [of hym] for his name was spread abrode: And he sayde, Iohn Baptist is rysen agayne from the dead, and therefore myghtie workes do shewe foorth them selues in hym. 15 Other saide, it is Elias. Some saide, it is a prophete, or as one of the prophetes. 16 But when Herode hearde of hym, he saide: It is Iohn, whom I beheaded, he is rysen from death agayne. 17 For Herode himselfe had sent foorth, and layde handes vpon Iohn, & bounde hym in pryson, for Herodias sake, his brother Philippes wyfe, because he had maryed her. 18 For Iohn sayde vnto Herode: It is not lawful for thee to haue thy brothers wyfe. 19 Therefore Herodias layde wayte for hym, and woulde haue kylled hym: but she coulde not. 20 For Herode feared Iohn, knowyng that he was a iuste man and an holye, and gaue hym reuerence: and when he hearde hym, he dyd many thynges, and hearde hym gladly. 21 And whe a conuenient day was come, that Herode on his birth daye made a supper to the lordes, hye captaynes, and chiefe estates of Galilee. 22 And when the daughter of the same Herodias came in, and daunced, and pleased Herode, and them that sate at boorde also, the kyng said vnto the damsell: Aske of me what thou wylt, and I wyll geue it thee. 23 And he sware vnto her: Whatsoeuer thou shalt aske of me, I wyll geue it thee, euen vnto the one halfe of my kingdome.

Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

the king: Matthew 14:10, Matthew 14:11

an executioner: or, one of his guard, נוךןץכבפשס [Strong's G4688], in Latin, speculator, from speculor, to look about, spy, properly denotes a sentinel; and as these sentinels kept guard at the palaces of kings, and the residences of Roman governors, so they were employed in other offices besides guarding, and usually performed that of executioners. As, however, we learn from Josephus, that Herod was at this very time engaged in war with Aretas, king of Arabia, in consequence of Herod's having divorced his daughter in order to marry Herodias, his brother Philip's wife; and as this event occurred at an entertainment given at the castle of Machaerus, while his army was on its march against his father-in-law; we are furnished with an additional reason why a speculator, or sentinel, should have been employed as an executioner; and are thus enabled to discover such a latent and undesigned coincidence as clearly evinces the truth of the evangelical narrative.

Reciprocal: 2 Chronicles 18:7 - I hate him Proverbs 16:14 - messengers Daniel 3:6 - the same Mark 6:14 - king Herod Revelation 20:4 - beheaded

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And immediately the king sent an executioner,....

:-

and commanded his head to be brought; ordered him to cut off his head in prison, and bring it away forthwith in a charger to him:

and he went and beheaded him in the prison; according to his orders.
