 Herodias
    (Matt. 14:3-11; Mark 6:17-28; Luke 3:19), the daughter of
    Aristobulus and Bernice. While residing at Rome with her husband
    Herod Philip I. and her daughter, Herod Antipas fell in with her
    during one of his journeys to that city. She consented to leave
    her husband and become his wife. Some time after, Herod met John
    the Baptist, who boldly declared the marriage to be unlawful.
    For this he was "cast into prison," in the castle probably of
    Machaerus (q.v.), and was there subsequently beheaded.
