No, you didn’t, it appears, from Genesis 2:24, which stipulates a two-person male-female union, onwards—personally instituted by God.
Who was the first polygynist? Unrighteous Lamech (Genesis 4:19). Every other case of polygyny recorded in the Old Testament is associated with trouble, whether Jacob, David or (especially) Solomon.
So you lurk on a conservative site for what reason?

Matthew 19
3 The Pharisees also came to Him, testing Him, and saying to Him, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for just any reason?”
4 And He answered and said to them, “Have you not read that He who made them at the beginning ‘made them male and female,
5 “and said, ‘For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh’?
6 “So then, they are no longer two but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate.”
