Where does the phrase you had your ass handed to you come from?

"The phrase, you had your ass handed to you, can be traced to the New Testament, when Salome, King Herod's daughter, danced so beautifully before her father and his dinner guests the king said to her, "Ask me for anything you want, and I'll give it to you." Salome turned to her mother who told her daughter to ask for the head of John the Baptist, who was in prison. Being the ever obedient child Salome did so. John was executed and his head brought to the girl on a silver platter. Since and maybe prior having something handed to you on a silver platter has meant getting it without work or effort. Having your head handed to you, - on a silver platter is a longstanding idiom. Figuratively speaking you just got killed without your opponent having to put in much effort. -or your ass--in modern slang--is an abridged form of this idiom. Except when your ass is handed to you the connotation is you live to suffer your defeat.
