First Kings 11:1-3 indicates that King Solomon had 700 hundred wives and 300 hundred concubines! In sealing treaties in ancient days, it was customary for a lesser king to give his daughter in marriage to the greater king. Every time a new treaty was sealed, Solomon ended up with yet another wife. These wives were considered “tokens of friendship” and “sealed” the relationship between the two kings. (Reasoning from the Scriptures on 1 Kings)

First Kings 11:1-3 indicates that King Solomon had 700 hundred wives and 300 hundred concubines, many from lands of which God had previously instructed the Israelites to avoid intermarrying.

If America is based on the bible, how come we don't have concubines in this modern age? Are we better then the saints in the bible?
Oh, and 700 was the correct answer, akmost one a night for two years without a bedding the same wife twice...and that doesn't even count the concubines are the war booty that God allowed him to have

A Lot. It was not a sin at that time to have many wives. Jesus changed it. He said that a man shall have on wife and the two shall become one flesh.
