Mark 6:21-23 provides the full context: Herod's birthday banquet with officials, and the promise made before the dance.

Mark 6:22 specifically identifies the dancer as Herodias's daughter, providing her exact relation.

Genesis 40:20 describes Pharaoh's birthday feast leading to the execution of the baker — mirroring Herod's feast that leads to John's death.

Esther 1:10-12 shows a king summoning a woman to display at a feast; Vashti refuses, while Herodias's daughter complies.

Ecclesiastes 7:2 says it is better to mourn than to feast — contrasting with the birthday feast that led to murder.
