Exegesis
The causal prepositional phrase dia tous horkous {διὰ τοὺς ὅρκους | diá toús hórkous} “because of the oaths” explains one motivation, immediately joined by the coordinated phrase kai tous synanakeimenous {καὶ τοὺς συνανακειμένους | kaí toús synanakeiménous} “and those reclining with (him),” which introduces the social pressure exerted by the banquet guests.
In context — Matthew 14:9
And the king , having been grieved, because of the oaths and those who were reclining with him, commanded it to be given.
