    The multiple wife situation was a tribal situtaion to obtain power by force to defend ones tribe & family against the many enemies against Israel or the Israeli Jewish people at the time...

    If you want an idea about marriage look up 1 Timothy 3:2 about a Bishops office... Most people could only handle one wife... BACK THEN....
