Q # 9235686

Question:

Pastor Hank, Many of Israel’s kings had numerous wives. How does one reconcile that with the teachings of our Lord Jesus ?

Answer:

God never condoned multiple wives in the Old Testament. These kings disobeyed God and paid a price for it. Read Deuteronomy 17:17 which says, ‘Neither shall he multiply wives to himself, that his heart turn not away.’Read I Kings 11:11.
