Whatever happened to Herodias and Salome? Bible Answer: Herodias is mentioned six times in the New Testament (Matthew 14:3, 6; Mark 6:17, 19, 22; Luke 3:19), and Salome is mentioned twice (Mark 15:40; 16:1).
Aug 24, 2015 · Herodias has carefully calculated the moment, counting on Salome’s performance to create the perfect climax for her husband’s boisterous birthday party. And she is not disappointed. With a sultry smile, Salome spins and twirls, extending her arms in a great, expanding circle as she moves across the floor, inviting every man to imagine what ...

I was reading 1 Samuel chapter 9 today, in the Greek, and I came across a word that is translated in 1 Samuel 9:11 (NIV) as “young women.” The word is korasia (plural). When I think of “young women” I think of women around the ages of 18–25, but the “young women” in 1 Samuel 9 were probably girls whose chore it was to get water for the household. I...
So what exactly did young Salome do to entertain her audience? Admittedly the rich sometimes indulged in salacious entertainment that sometimes involved children, but it is possible Salome’s dance was amusing and endearing rather than erotic. The Greek verb for “pleased” (areskō) in the phrase, “she pleased Herod …” (Matt. 14:6; Mark 6:22) doesn’t ...
Some believe Herodias put her daughter up to dancing provocatively for Herod with the hope he would, in appreciation, make some sort of offer or promise. However, the text does not support this assumption. How could Herodias have predicted Herod would make such a promise? Herod’s oath to give up to half his kingdom is an idiom. This idiom suggests ...
The unfounded sexualisation of Salome in art and literature reminds me of the treatment of Delilah. Delilah, like Salome, is typically portrayed in art and literature as a manipulative, sexual temptress, but in the actual text of Judges chapter 16, she sounds like a nagging wife (e.g., Judg. 16:16). There is no evidence Delilah flirted or used her ...
Real women and real men should not be type-cast; they should be seen for who they really are. This is true for Bible characters and it is true for people today. Salome may have been a girl of around twelve years of age, who played or danced in front of an appreciative stepfather and his dinner guests, and who was prompted by her mother Herodias to ...
Mar 8, 2024 · The biblical account of Salome has been marked throughout history by two main themes: on the one hand, the princess’s dance in front of the main rulers of Galilee, and on the other hand, the request for the head of John the Baptist to King Herod, instigated by his mother Herodias.
He protected the Baptist from his nagging, Hasmonean-proud Herodias by just jailing him. But it was Herodias’ c. 13-14-year-old daughter Salome who finally silenced John. It was Antipas’ 49th birthday.
Herodias (/ həˈroʊdiəs /; Greek: Ἡρῳδιάς, Hērōidiás; c. 15 BC – after AD 39) was a princess of the Herodian dynasty of Judaea during the time of the Roman Empire. [1] . Christian writings connect her with the execution of John the Baptist.
