Just because Scripture says that Jehoiada "did right in the sight of the Lord..." that doesn't mean God was okay with his polygamy. He continued to sin like we all do, so were all his sins therefore "right in the sight of the Lord."? And God never said he would have given David more wives, he said he would have given him "more," referencing all that He gave him previously in regards to what used to be Saul's, etc.<br /><br />Glenn E.

He allows it, never condemns it or suggests it's wrong, told David He would have given him more wives if he'd asked, and either 1 or 2 Chronicles says that Joash "did right in the sight of the Lord all the days of Jehoiada the priest. And Jehoiada took two wives for him." Making Joash's polygamy "right in the sight of the Lord".JM1999https://www.blogger.com/profile/18021172040137455414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6043971967398769903.post-85754036555604589162019-01-21T09:05:29.689-06:002019-01-21T09:05:29.689-06:00Agom,

A few years ago, I was involved in an online debate trying to prove that God did not, indeed, condone polygamy under the Old Covenant. One of the points I made was that in every specific instance in the OT where polygamy is mentioned, it led to problems (what today would be called "dysfunctional families"). Abraham/Sarah/Hagar; Rachel & Leah; David and his 8+ wives; Solomon; etc. I didn't notice Cain was the 1st recorded polygamist, though - good observation.Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15411152395819469453noreply@blogger.com
