King Herod Antipas ruled Judea and ordered the beheading of John the Baptist at the request of Salome. This brutal event is recorded in the Bible in the New Testament, specifically in the Gospels of Matthew and Mark.

Herod Antipas was a son of King Herod the Great and he ruled the region of Galilee and Perea from around 4 BC to 39 AD. He was known for his volatile and immoral behavior, which eventually led to his downfall.

John the Baptist was a prominent figure in Judea at the time, preaching about repentance and the coming of the Messiah. His outspoken criticism of Herod's marriage to his sister-in-law Herodias led to his imprisonment and eventual execution.

This event serves as a cautionary tale about the dangers of power and corruption. It also highlights the religious and political tensions that existed in Judea during the time of Jesus.
