1 | Does God endorse polygamy? | 1 Kin 11:3 | Swordman007 | 68533 | ||
I am not sure what version of the Bible you are speaking from in reference to 2 Sam. 12:8, but the NIV and the KJV both translate the plural form "wives" in reference to what Saul had that was given to David. I prefer to believe what Nathan said rather than men. Saul actually had more than one wife. I believe he had five that were ultimately given to David. Here is the actual quote from the KJV of that verse, "thy master's wives into thy bosom..." That clearly speaks of Saul's having had more than one wife that was given to David as his wives. Now, anyone who has done a simply word study knows that "into thy bosom" is a very intimate statement. You can overlook the obvious, but then that is all you would be doing. You appear to be the only one in this discussion who has called this into question. Everyone else appears to be aware of this fact and are avoiding it because of its implications. Thanks for your comments. Don |

I stand on my previous statement that Saul's only wife that scripture reveals is Ahinoam. Show me the other 4 you know about and I will concede this point. Also, show me any scripture that David took Saul's only wife (Ahinoam) as his own, or any of the other 4 that you know about, and I will concede that point as well. In the mean time we anxiously await your long overdue response to Joe. retxar |
