| Jun 4, 2021 at 5:16 | comment | added | Tiago Peres | I agree with @Lucian that the statement, if justified somehow, would make the answer better. Even if that means adapting the wording to accomodate in it the NT passages the answer already mentions | |

| Aug 19, 2020 at 6:32 | comment | added | Lucian | the priesthood was was almost universally monogamous - Was it ? | |
| Aug 19, 2020 at 6:10 | comment | added | Dottard | @AndersonKate - Deut 17:17 is not taking MANY wives. But what number turns few into many? | |
| Aug 19, 2020 at 5:02 | comment | added | Anderson Kate | Hmm. I'm not so sure the Lord is necessarily telling David to ask Him for more wives/women, especially considering Deuteronomy 17:17. Perhaps it's more having to do with riches/things regarding the kingdom he was given. | |
| Aug 19, 2020 at 2:50 | comment | added | Dottard | @AndersonKate - you may be correct. If a man divorced his wife (it was illegal for the woman to divorce her husband) she would be destitute except for two alternatives: marry someone else or take up prostitution. | |
| Aug 19, 2020 at 2:46 | comment | added | Anderson Kate | Thank you @Dottard. Do you think for that time, God was more permissive because the women would be left destitute? I think a lot of women in this age would feel hurt thinking they aren't enough for their husband's. I think that's why I'm having a hard time with the wording in this passage. | |
