²¹ Rehoboam loved Maacah daughter of Absalom more than all his other wives and concubines (he took eighteen wives and sixty concubines and became the father of twenty-eight sons and sixty daughters).^(A)

¹⁷ And he must not acquire many wives for himself or else his heart will turn away; also silver and gold he must not acquire in great quantity for himself.^(A)

³ Among his wives were seven hundred princesses and three hundred concubines, and his wives turned away his heart.

¹³ In Jerusalem, after he came from Hebron, David took more concubines and wives, and more sons and daughters were born to David.^(A)

³⁰ Now Gideon had seventy sons, his own offspring, for he had many wives.^(A)
