Well, I learned a lot from this forum - including this one about David having a lot of wives.
More wives than the days in a week.
Been staring at a bible verse about King David:
1 Chronicles 14:3 New International Version (NIV)
In Jerusalem David took more wives and became the father of more sons and daughters.
Couldn't believe its there, but it is there.
One YouTuber gave a possible explanation for all of these things
And he makes sense.
King David had 8 named wives in the Bbile
I know the Old Testament Bible does not teach polygamy
I believe this is King David's chosen personal path to take
This was quite a useful video that perhaps brings some clarity and reconciliation to the discussion we were having about polgamy.
