Multiple Wives?
Multiple Wives?
by: Pastor Ryan Scheibel
1 Samuel 25:39, 43, “David sent and proposed to Abigail, to take her as his wife. David also took Ahinoam of Jezreel, and so both of them were his wives.”
David shouldn’t have taken these ladies as his wives’ because he was already married to Michal Saul’s daughter.
So now David has three wives which shows us again the fact that David was not perfect.
Marriage was always intended to be one man and one woman for life.
Genesis 2:24, “God said that a man shall leave his father or mother and cling to his wife.” The word wife is singular: one wife.
Deuteronomy 17:17 outlines the qualifications for a king, there are three things they were not to multiply: horses, gold, and wives.
This was a compromising sin in David’s life that would catch up with him years down the road. What he was sewing caused big problems in David’s life.
Multiply wives might have been right in the eyes of culture back then but it was wrong in the eyes of God.
It’s a good reminder to take inventory of what we are you doing that is right with the world but it’s not okay with God and to turn from that and do it Gods way. It’s like right now it’s no big deal for two people to just live together like husband and wife and sleep together and they’re not married according to the world. That’s common today and its ok with culture but it’s not okay in the eyes of God.
