Herodias hated John the baptist. when her daughter did a dance for king Herod he was so delighted that he told her to ask for anything and she would get it. She then asked her mother what to ask for. The mother said ask for Johns head on a silver plate. So John was beheaded , and the head was brought on a plate.
