"And the king was exceeding sorry; yet for his oath’s sake, and for their sakes which sat with him, he would not reject her."
Commentary
Gill's Exposition
And the king was exceeding sorry,.... See Gill on Mat 14:9 . yet for his oath's sake, and for their sakes which sat with him; as Matthew adds, "at meat",
Mat 14:9 ; for it seems as if supper was not over, when all this was transacting. He would not reject her; deny her her request, or send her away without granting it which could not be without grieving her, and treating her with contempt, and defrauding her of the promise; all which ideas are expressed by some versions.
