And when the daughter of the said Herodias came in,.... To the hall, where Herod and his guests were, after supper was over; or rather, whilst at it: she is called the daughter of Herodias, and not of Herod; she having had her not by him, but by his brother Philip: her name is thought to be Salome; See Gill on "Mt 14:6",and danced and pleased Herod, and them that were with him; at supper, his lords, captains, and principal men in his dominions;See Gill on "Mt 14:6".
