Who danced at King Herod's court?

This Herod was Herod Antipas, younger son of Herod the Great. Not a king, he was Tetrarch of Gallilee following his father's death. The daughter of Herodias danced in his court on the occasion of his birthday. Although she is not named, she is usually assumed to have been Salome. As a reward for her dancing, Herod promised her whatever she wished. Prompted by her mother, she asked for the head of John the Baptist. Reluctantly, Herod complied in order to save face in the presence of his court. Matthew 14:6 But when Herod's birthday was kept, the daughter of Herodias danced before them, and pleased Herod. Mark 6:22 And when the daughter of the said Herodias came in, and danced, and pleased Herod and them that sat with him, the king said unto the damsel, Ask of me whatsoever thou wilt, and I will give it thee.

What is the name of Herod that wanted baby Jesus killed and the name of Herod that crucified him Jesus?

I am not certain of the question. The answer to the question as asked seems simple - Herod is the name of Herod. But I suspect that the writer wants to ask something else. Maybe English is his/her second language. Please restate the question or ask it in your native language.Answer:Herod the Great (37 BC to 4 BC) was the Herod at the time of Jesus' birth and toddler years when the killing of the Innocence was ordered by him.Herod Antipas who was one of three sons, assumed the throne and ruled from 4 BC to 39 AD. He is the Herod of the time of crucifixion of Jesus - 31 AD.There was also another son given this name - Herod Archelaus who was just like his father the Great and was eventually killed by the Romans in 6 AD.The third and final son was named differently - Philip.
