Exegesis
The coordinating conjunction kai {καὶ | kaí} links this to the result clause with the aorist verb ēresen {ἤρεσεν | É-re-sen}, “pleased,” where the dative tō Hērōidē {τῷ Ἡρῴδῃ | tôi Hē-RŌI-dē} indicates the person who experiences the pleasure. In translation, the dative absolute is rendered as a temporal clause (“when the birthday celebration of Herod had come” / “when Herod was celebrating his birthday”), and the sequence of aorist verbs is expressed with simple past forms to maintain clear narrative progression.
In context — Matthew 14:6
But when the birthday celebration of Herod had come, the daughter of Herodias danced in the midst, and she pleased Herod.
