Matthew 14:4

The reason was that John [the Baptist] had repeatedly said to him, "It is not lawful for you to have her."
[Herodias was Herod Antipas's unlawful wife. She was a granddaughter of Herod the Great. As a young woman, she was married to her uncle Herod Philip in Rome. He should not be confused with the tetrarch Philip who ruled north of Galilee, see Luke 3:1. Herodias and her first husband Philip had a daughter, Salome. During a visit to Rome, Herod Antipas became enamored with Herodias. She divorced, moved from Rome, and married Herod Antipas. He also divorced his wife, the daughter of Aretas, king of Arabia, which created political unrest in the area, leading to open war in 36 AD. John the Baptist had condemned their actions, as they violated the teachings of the Books of Moses, see Lev. 18:16.]
