Yes, probably. But if that had happened in today's world, he would also have had to have 700 diamond rings, 700 credit cards, 700 new cars, and 700 houses with swimming pools, hot tubs and fireplaces.
Hehe--Bigamy should be it's OWN punishment!

I think so. But I do not think in the old days mistresses belong to king have the right like today's wives. In fact, they have to obey the king. So, Solomon might not experiencing the headache handling 700 Mothers-In-Law.

Ah, the "wisdom" of Solomon- 700 wives and mother-in-laws and father-in-laws. What "wisdom"!

Maybe, but I wouldn't worry about the Mother in Laws, think of all the nagging wives man!

The bad part is--he married pagan wives, thus had pagan mother-in laws. What a mis-use of the wisdom he was given.

Poor man, it is a scary thought. However, women were not really considered as important as men (in Solomon's time) so he could have had it easier than we think.

Probably not- since some of the wives were likely to be sisters.

LOL I never though of that before. Good point, but since he was wise, I guess he was wise enough to pick wives who would not have bitchy mothers. LOL
