The Lord did not mention Abraham and Jacob because they did not do anything that the Lord did not already sanction.
David and Solomon took it upon themselves in some cases did things which the did not bless.
2 Samuel 12
Nathan tells David the parable of the ewe lamb—The Lord gave many wives to David, who is now cursed for taking Bath-sheba—
7 ¶ And Nathan said to David, Thou art the man. Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, I anointed thee king over Israel, and I delivered thee out of the hand of Saul;
8 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.
9 Wherefore hast thou despised the commandment of the Lord, to do evil in his sight? thou hast killed Uriah the Hittite with the sword, and hast taken his wife to be thy wife, and hast slain him with the sword of the children of Ammon.
10 Now therefore the sword shall never depart from thine house; because thou hast despised me, and hast taken the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be thy wife.
11 Thus saith the Lord, Behold, I will raise up evil against thee out of thine own house, and I will take thy wives before thine eyes, and give them unto thy neighbour, and he shall lie with thy wives in the sight of this sun.
12 For thou didst it secretly: but I will do this thing before all Israel, and before the sun.
13 And David said unto Nathan, I have sinned against the Lord. And Nathan said unto David, The Lord also hath put away thy sin; thou shalt not die.
14 Howbeit, because by this deed thou hast given great occasion to the enemies of the Lord to blaspheme, the child also that is born unto thee shall surely die.
1 King 1
Solomon marries outside Israel, and his wives turn his heart to the worship of false gods—The Lord stirs up adversaries against him, including Jeroboam the son of Nebat—Ahijah promises Jeroboam that he shall be king of ten tribes—Solomon dies and Rehoboam reigns in his stead.
9 ¶ And the Lord was angry with Solomon, because his heart was turned from the Lord God of Israel, which had appeared unto him twice,
10 And had commanded him concerning this thing, that he should not go after other gods: but he kept not that which the Lord commanded.
11 Wherefore the Lord said unto Solomon, Forasmuch as this is done of thee, and thou hast not kept my covenant and my statutes, which I have commanded thee, I will surely rend the kingdom from thee, and will give it to thy servant.

Do you have any concept of “historical concepts and customs”? Your interpretation of these versus is totally void of “history and customs” of the time.

Ah those scriptures you posted in your # 220 are not mormon scriptures
You gave the credit to the mormons but they are Chrsitan scriptures...
2 Samuel 12:7-11 are in the Chrsitian Bible...
Just clarifying for the lurkers...
OK
Now this one is a mormon “scripture”
THE BOOK OF JACOB
THE BROTHER OF NEPHI
CHAPTER 2:24
Behold, David and Solomon truly had many wives and concubines, which thing was abominable before me, saith the Lord.
The MORMON religious Organization has NO proof that the LORD 'sanctioned' anything.
Quit repeating things you cannot back up.
