No polygamy was NOT an Old Testament practice.
Before one says that, they should actually read the old testament AND understand historical context.

“No polygamy was NOT an Old Testament practice.”

I am guessing what was practiced by Moses, Abraham, Solomon, and David is not considered an Old Testament practice. We are just missing the context, you see.

there is no historical context that is relevant if the practice is described among OT historical figures but not condemned.

At best, it is open to interpretation.

Open to interpretation means that reasonable people may disagree.
