Mark 6:18

The reason was that John had said to him, "It is not lawful for you to have your brother's wife."
[Herodias was the unlawful wife of Herod Antipas. She was a granddaughter of Herod the Great. As a young woman, she was married off to her uncle Herod Philip in Rom. 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 Rom, Herod Antipas became enamored with Herodias. She divorced, moved from Rom, 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 commandment in Lev. 18:16.]
