Why did God allow Solomon to have 1,000 wives and concubines? | GotQuestions.org

[@GSpotter63]

I am quite sure that God often allows people to screw up so that they and others could learn from their mistakes. The truth is that some are just so stubborn that they must learn the hard way.

[@toughbiblepassages9082]

What you mean is, God TOLERATES or forebears people in their sin (meaning it isn’t punished immediately) .. God never “allows” for sin.. all sin will be punished one way or another (on the cross or in hell) and because of that, there is no sin that is allowed.. all sin is forbidden. The issue is, if God truly “allowed” multiple wives, then there is no way it could be a sin. If it actually is a sin, then God would have never allowed it.

I can attest to God's forbearance in my own life. I've sinned many times, but in the past 2+ years, I have become more intentional in my walk with Jesus, endeavoring to root out sin.

[@moizahmed4705]

David never disobeyed God by having multiple wives because God never forbid polygyny in the Law of Moses. In fact, Law of Moses not only allows polygyny but also gives instructions on how to treat your multiple wives: *If he marries another woman, he must not deprive the first one of her food, clothing and marital rights. [Exodus 21:10]* *If a man has two wives, and he loves one but not the other, and both bear him sons but the firstborn is the son of the wife he does not love, when he wills his property to his sons, he must not give the rights of the firstborn to the son of the wife he loves in preference to his actual firstborn, the son of the wife he does not love. [Deuteronomy 21:15-16]* God only forbid kings to not have many wives: *The king, moreover, must not acquire great numbers of horses for himself or make the people return to Egypt to get more of them, for the LORD has told you, “You are not to go back that way again.” He must not take many wives, or his heart will be led astray. He must not accumulate large amounts of silver and gold. [Deuteronomy 17:16-17]* Though it is never explained how much wives would be "many" but David is said to have 8 wives and he was never condemned by God for that so we can say that 8 wives are not many wives.

I think it was also Solomon who wrote, "One righteous man in ten thousand I have found, but one righteous woman does not exist," or something exactly like that in meaning. Maybe Solomon was just looking for a good woman, and decided after 1000 of them, he was searching in vain. He was chasing after the wind. Goodness is oly truly found in God, for all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. God gives us free will. He allowed Solomon to have as many wifes as he wanted, just as He allows us to divorce and murder and hate. That is, He allows us to defy His will. He does not endorse it though. Also, bear in mind Solomon's mother was the adulteress Bathsheba. Her lust led directly to the death of a mighty man of war. I can't imagine a woman like that would make a good impression on a son as she raised him.

@moonlitshore3575 you fail to acknowledge that Solomon didn't marry loads of women just for pleasure - Solomon married a lot of them to create peace and strategic alliances (e.g. Solomon made an alliance with Pharoah and took Pharoah's daughter who Pharaoh gave to him). But because he acquired too many foreign women he got influenced by their gods and was lead astray (the bible especially states that Solomon "loved many foreign women". If he had married 700 hebrew women he this would have been far less likely to have been swayed by other gods. Stop being narrow-minded. MEN didn't command dominance over creation by worshipping women and making sex the highest goal. Wives are not just for sex - there are much easier ways for a man to obtain this without the burden of marriage 👍 A woman is literally incapable of meeting the needs/requirements/demands of multiple husbands - they can't even meet that of one man - hence the bible calls woman a helper (not an equal opposite). Polygyny and polyandry are not equivalents - this is not a case of whatever a man can do a woman can do too (or better)

It feels like people out of their own indulgences and vanity, pick and choose which verses or actions of people of the OT are descriptive and which are prescriptive. In this case it is absolutely descriptive. David, Solomon, Samson etc. all defied Gods commands throughout their life, like all other human beings, they’re not holy being to be emulated, CHRIST IS. And Christ only glorifies the Original plan of marriage which is monogamy, just like there’s only the bridegroom and the bride, the church, just like there was only adam and eve, etc. The more people distanced themselves from Eden the more human behavior changed. It is like saying; since God did not punish Jacob for scamming Esau out of his birthright in exchange for lentil soup, all of us can do that, it’s not literally spelled out that it’s a sin! Deceiving is sin, Indulgence is sin, it very clearly states that.

King David knew a Great King, that would rule the Nation of Israel forever and ever would descend from his bloodline, but I’m sure he didn’t comprehend or articulate that this Great King would be Jesus Christ The Messiah, the savior of the entire world. TMH GOD didn’t reveal the magnitude of who Jesus Christ would be just yet. Even when the prophet Isaiah came on the scene and prophesied the coming of The Messiah, people still didn’t comprehend it, if they did, they would have known that Jesus Christ was TMH GOD in the flesh, they would have never killed him and fulfilled prophecy, they would have known that Jesus would conquer death and judge everybody whoever lived, on judgement day.

[@davidlattimore3393]

It was about conquest. There were three divisions of the earth, ham, Shem , Japheth and the 300 concubines represent the kingdoms of ham in and the 350+350 are the kingdom of Japheth and Shem.

Proverbs 5:15-19 New International Version 15 Drink water from your own cistern, running water from your own well. 16 Should your springs overflow in the streets, your streams of water in the public squares? 17 Let them be yours alone, never to be shared with strangers. 18 May your fountain be blessed, and may you rejoice in the wife of your youth. 19 A loving doe, a graceful deer- may her breasts satisfy you always, may you ever be intoxicated with her love.

Does the same apply for allowing women to have more than one husband no where in the Bible does it say a woman can’t have more than one husband and if your answer to that is no you clearly are mysogynitic and sexist and twist religion to spin your own narrative to benefit you.

Solomon was faithful to God until he went and built places of worship outside of God's blueprints and commandments. "An evil and adulterous generation seeks for a sign but none will be given except the sign of Jonah" God describes his people as a bride/wife. Unfortunately, everyone has been led to sin against God by building their own religious places of worship and their own religious traditions that make the Word of God void... same old sin of Jeroboam and many other unfaithful kings and Shepherds.

The only reason that Solomon had so many wives and concubines was the easiest way to keep peace with his neighbours. They have been practicing this in Europe for years.

Did the video actually answer your questions? Or did it just put off the problem? Keep in mind, the Bible has actual laws on concubines and multiple women, and the law of God is perfect and everlasting as 1 Timothy says. God tolerating is not the same as God allowing.

Don’t waste your time looking for a woman. Focus on building and improving yourself and someone will naturally come along, and by then you’ll realize you never wanted a woman to begin with. Modern marriage is a scam where women, no matter how evil or at fault of troubles, will be favored by society, the justice system, and even other men who are quick to betray some dude for some easy aZz. Just say no each time “marriage” pops into your hear.

There is a difference between allowing (permission) and toleration (forbearance).. the Bible allows.. you’re referencing toleration.. very different things

[@moonlitshore3575]

I agree God tolerated Solomon and all the other men to live polygamous lifestyle and live in their sexual sin cause he knew men particularly would struggle with pride and lust and find any way to justify their bad behavior. Especially since I’m the New Testament the new covenant that we are to fallow the reason Jesus died on the cross for it states marriage is between one man and one woman.

@@a.ragguette4855 David took a child concubine in his old age to "keep him warm"..... still not satisfied with the laundry list of concubines and wives who would gladly keep him warm. He needed to remove a child from her home and prevent her a marriage and her own life-- same selfish dude as always. We can know pretty well he continued to suck as a person and a father-- Solomon was his greatest achievement as a father and solomon loved having sex with witchy demon worshippers and worshipping them himself.... David kept taking concubines all the way until death and surprise surprise he raised a greater womanizer than himself--- which is super depressing he corrupted/led bathshebas son down this disgusting demonic sexual path after it led him to rape her and murder her husband. Then she had to watch her/her rapists son grow up to be just as lost and wicked in regard to family/treatment of women, etc. If David learned his lesson he would have warned his son and showed his son how to honor God with his penis/power/parenting. Good parents don't raise devil worshipping sex addicts....... men who cleaned up their act don't need infinite concubines, nor child body warmers. Pathetic.

God did not give Solomon permission to practice polygamy. As a monarch, he took this right out for himself. Similar to the ius primae noctis (the right of the first night) of the European rulers. None of it was ordained by God.

Sorry, discussed in the bar trees and one of them or some underage. God says you’re supposed to respect people and treat people right that’s what I thought. I’m just a beginner. I can’t hear anymore of the story. It’s making me disgusted I mean I realize I’m not perfect. I had a couple of divorces, but my God it was abusive relationships. I didn’t deserve it. You deserve somebody that will treat you good. God doesn’t want you to suffer, but I never did anything off-the-wall or crazy, I do have some morals I’m just a human being though I do have feelings I do have a little more morals than this story is just oh my God just shocking I don’t blame God I’m glad I found God too, and Jesus he died on the cross for my sins. I’m so sorry and forgive me. Love you Jesus thank you so much. Amen.😊

[@ededd3175]

ur entire argument is "allowance is not the same as approval" but it is... whether he wants him to learn his lesson without interference or not, he LET IT HAPPEN. approval is letting the right thing happen, but solomon conquered ALL demons... but the story is always half baked as a fail story ... and yet ironically call him "wise" .... it becomes obvious this interpretation of the story is all wrong (edited before a single comment)
