'Request' in the Bible

Immediately she hurried back to the king and made her request: "I want the head of John the Baptist on a platter immediately."

Although it grieved the king deeply, he did not want to reject her request because of his oath and his guests.

So now you and the council request the commanding officer to bring him down to you, as if you were going to determine his case by conducting a more thorough inquiry. We are ready to kill him before he comes near this place."

So do not let them persuade you to do this, because more than forty of them are lying in ambush for him. They have bound themselves with an oath not to eat or drink anything until they have killed him, and now they are ready, waiting for you to agree to their request."

because he not only accepted our request, but since he was very eager, he is coming to you of his own accord.
