'Wives' in the Bible
He had 700 wives who were princesses and 300 concubines, and they turned his heart away from the Lord.
When Solomon was old, his wives seduced him to follow other gods. He was not completely devoted to Yahweh his God, as his father David had been.
He did the same for all his foreign wives, who were burning incense and offering sacrifices to their gods.
‘Your silver and your gold are mine! And your best wives and children are mine as well!’”
The messengers then returned and said, “This is what Ben-hadad says: ‘I have sent messengers to you, saying: You are to give me your silver, your gold, your wives, and your children.
Then the king of Israel called for all the elders of the land and said, “Think it over and you will see that this one is only looking for trouble, for he demanded my wives, my children, my silver, and my gold, and I didn’t turn him down.”
