(Answer to Ethernium) Come on, brother! Learn to properly divide the Bible... In 1 Kings 15:5 it is said that David had not turned aside from anything that God had commanded except in the CASE of Uriah the Hittite. The CASE included the precursor of lust, coveting his neighbors wife, and adultery. You are not defending those, are you, just because they are not mentioned specifically? The case also included plotting, deceit, and selfishness in the murder of Uriah, for which I'm glad this CASE took it's namesake as otherwise poor Uriah is almost forgotten... And the case ends with a polygamous act of David's marriage to Uriah's widow. I think we can reasonably assume that this Bible Patriarch indulged in several forbidden practices here. Case closed.

If someone comes to your door to try and sell their religion to you, do you shut the door in their face or go to the toilet? Or both?

You're reading Many of the Biblical patriarchs had multiple wives. Does the Bible specifically forbid polygamy?
