How many wives did David have? David had eight wives, although he appears to have had children from other women as well.
1. The first one was Michal, a daughter of King Saul.
2. The second was Ahinoam of Jezreel.
3. The third was Abigail, previously wife of the evil Nabal.
4. The fourth was Maachah.
5. The fifth was Haggith.
6. The sixth was Avital.
7. The seventh was Eglah.
8. The eighth was Bathsheba.
How many wives did Solomon have? First Kings 11:1-3 indicates that King Solomon had 700 hundred wives and 300 hundred concubines.
So
That proves that he wasn't all that smart.
As David was an ANCESTOR of Christ God and not a descendant I find your observation silly in the extreme.
None of that matters.
The Bible indicates all sorts of people had all sorts of behavior that God specifically said not to do. The point is to show that people are not perfect, not to indicate that it's Ok.
Abraham and Jacob both told people their wives were their sisters. Rebekah tricked Isaac into blessing Jacob instead of Esau. Moses killed a man. Peter denied Christ 3 times. Noah got drunk and his kids saw him naked. David had an afair with a woman and had her husband killed to cover up the afair. I could go on...
These people all did things that were against God's law. That doesn't make it Ok. It shows that they were flawed people that were still able to do great things for God's purpose despite their flaws. God constantly chose flawed, weak people to be his leaders to show that His strength and might was doing the work and not the people.
How many wives did Solomon have? First Kings 11:1-3 indicates that King Solomon had 700 hundred wives and 300 hundred concubines.>>>
And you look to this as a GOOD thing? I seem to recall that Solomon's randy behavior led directly to the division of Israel from Judea and ultimately to the conquest by the Babylonians....
And look at all the Mothers-in-law! The poor man.
