Nave's Topical Bible
Adding this one to our permanent list of resources over there on the left; found it while looking up "polygamy" yesterday, to find where in scripture is God's authoritative statement on this (in Deut17:17 it seems "Neither shall he multiply wives to himself, that his heart turn not away: neither shall he greatly multiply to himself silver and gold").
Here's what you get:
Nave's Topical Bible
"POLYGAMY" to "POTTERY"
POLYGAMY
-Forbidden De 17:17; Le 18:18; Mal 2:14, 15; Mt 19:4, 5; Mr 10:2-8; 1Ti 3:2, 12; Tit 1:6
-Authorized 2Sa 12:8
-Tolerated Ex 21:10; 1Sa 1:2; 2Ch 24:3
-Practiced by Job 27:15
-Lamech Ge 4:19
-Abraham Ge 16
etc.
Interestingly, Solomon (imbued by God with more wisdom than we'll ever have) not only violated Deut 17:17 in the most spectacular way, he also violated the previous verse ("But he shall not multiply horses to himself, nor cause the people to return to Egypt, to the end that he should multiply horses: forasmuch as the LORD hath said unto you, Ye shall henceforth return no more that way") - ref. 1Ki10:28-29 "Solomon's horses were imported from Egypt and from Kue - the royal merchants purchased them from Kue. They imported a chariot from Egypt for six hundred shekels of silver, and a horse for a hundred and fifty".
All to his great detriment!
