Salome with John the Baptist's head, by Charles Mellin (1597–1649). Salome (/ s ə ˈ l oʊ m i, ˈ s æ l ə m eɪ /; Hebrew: שְלוֹמִית, romanized: Shlomit, related to שָׁלוֹם, Shalom "peace"; Greek: Σαλώμη), [1] also known as Salome III, [2] [note 1] was a Jewish princess, the daughter of Herod II and princess Herodias.
The daughter of Aristobulus IV and his wife Berenice, Herodias was a full sister to Herod V (king of Chalkis), Herod Agrippa (king of Judea), Aristobulus Minor, and Mariamne III (wife of Crown Prince Antipater).
Herodias wanted John killed, but Herod Antipas protected John because he knew John was a just and holy man. John the Baptist was executed by beheading by Herod Antipas on the request of Herodias' daughter. His disciples buried his remains. Luke 3:19–20, 7:18–25, 9:9
"Salome" may be the Hellenized form of a Hebrew name derived from the root word שָׁלוֹם (shalom), meaning "peace". [4]The name was a common one; apart from the famous dancing "daughter of Herodias", both a sister and daughter of Herod the Great were called Salome, as well as Queen Salome Alexandra (d. 67 BC), the last independent ruler of Judea.
Salome was the daughter of Herod II and Herodias. According to the Gospel of Mark , King Herod hosted a feast on his birthday for his nobles, the high officers and the chief men of Galilee. The daughter of Herodias came in and danced, pleasing Herod and those who sat with him.
Salome, also known as Salome II, [1] was a Herodian princess, the daughter of Herod the Great (Herod I) and one of his lesser wives, Elpis, born in ~14 BCE. [2]She should not be confused with Salome, whose mother was Herodias, and who is alleged to have played a role in the death of John the Baptist.

Herod offered his unnamed niece a reward of her choice for performing a dance for his guests on his birthday. Herodias persuaded her daughter to ask for John the Baptist's head on a platter. Against his better judgment, Herod reluctantly acceded to her request. A similar account is recorded in Mark 6.
