He noted that those who married one wife in the Bible lost their way at the end of the day and betrayed God.
However, those that married more than one wife all found favour in the eyes of the Lord.
Basketmouth asked that people should digest the information and do whatever they want with it.

One Ade Striker 9 Wrote: “The information is wrong. Abraham never married 3 wives. Hagar was a concubine. He married Keturah after the death of Sarah. Rehoboam lived a horrible live. He was responsible for the secession of Judah. Solomon got turned away from God through his wives. A lot of the data are misleading. Read your Bible”
