"And I gave thee thy master's house, and thy master's wives into thy bosom, and gave thee the house of Israel and of Judah; and if that had been too little, I would moreover have given unto thee such and such things." 2 Samuel 12:8.

In fact, it wasn't David's 7 wives that ticked JHVH off. That was fine and dandy. It wasn't until David covetted another mans wife that it was considered a "sin".

Moses had more than one wife. Solomon. Ezra. Esau. The list goes on.

True, but in just about every instance it caused trouble later.
