Birthday

Boyd’s Bible Dictionary:

Observed among ancients by feasts (Gen. 40:20²⁰And it came to pass the third day, which was Pharaoh's birthday, that he made a feast unto all his servants: and he lifted up the head of the chief butler and of the chief baker among his servants. (Genesis 40:20); Job 1:4⁴And his sons went and feasted in their houses, every one his day; and sent and called for their three sisters to eat and to drink with them. (Job 1:4); Hos. 7:5⁵In the day of our king the princes have made him sick with bottles of wine; he stretched out his hand with scorners. (Hosea 7:5); Matt. 14:6-10⁶But when Herod's birthday was kept, the daughter of Herodias danced before them, and pleased Herod. ⁷Whereupon he promised with an oath to give her whatsoever she would ask. ⁸And she, being before instructed of her mother, said, Give me here John Baptist's head in a charger. ⁹And the king was sorry: nevertheless for the oath's sake, and them which sat with him at meat, he commanded it to be given her. ¹⁰And he sent, and beheaded John in the prison. (Matthew 14:6‑10)).

Concise Bible Dictionary:

The only scriptural notices of birthdays being kept are in reference to Pharaoh (Gen. 40:20²⁰And it came to pass the third day, which was Pharaoh's birthday, that he made a feast unto all his servants: and he lifted up the head of the chief butler and of the chief baker among his servants. (Genesis 40:20)); and to Herod Antipas, when John the Baptist lost his life (Matt. 14:6⁶But when Herod's birthday was kept, the daughter of Herodias danced before them, and pleased Herod. (Matthew 14:6); Mark 6:21²¹And when a convenient day was come, that Herod on his birthday made a supper to his lords, high captains, and chief estates of Galilee; (Mark 6:21)). It is thought by some that the sons of Job who feasted “everyone his day” did so on their birth-days (Job 1:4, 13⁴And his sons went and feasted in their houses, every one his day; and sent and called for their three sisters to eat and to drink with them. (Job 1:4)
¹³And there was a day when his sons and his daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother's house: (Job 1:13)). We do not read that the Israelites had any such custom; and the Preacher says the day of death is better than the day of one’s birth (Eccl. 7:1¹A good name is better than precious ointment; and the day of death than the day of one's birth. (Ecclesiastes 7:1)).
