Abraham had a bunch of wives. When they are your wives, it isn’t adultery.

Given that Abraham’s offspring by his second wife/concubine resulted in the whole wretched Arab world, I’d say that it’s not a good idea, whatever you want to call it.

IIRC, God's son, obviously with some Fatherly guidance, put the matter to rest regarding multiple wives.

Also, IIRC, Abraham had one wife Sarah until a low point in their lives saw him wed Hagar. That polyugamous event has led to much strife.
