God ain't Unjust nor Stupid enough to do that
Your comment shows your lack of education and ignorance. The prophet had 1 whife for much of his adult like until she died then married divorces converts and widows. The quran say marry up to 4 but if u cant do justice and man cannot then marry only 1. There was no welfare system in that time. Get some education.
1005 mother in laws and countless credit card bills...oy vey!
And 1005 times PMS/PMT to have to dodge...
One thousand five problems too. Chuckles...
Thought he said 1,012. Maybe I misheard
Question is : did Solomon make love To All of Them ... ??? 😀 If He did ... How many children did He have ... Just wondering 🙏☯️🌈
....and brother-in-laws.
So even endowed with the wisest head on the planet...a gift from God ....he still couldnt work out that all these women was going to end in trouble! Something doesn't add up here!
It is not the number of women that was the problem according to God.
It was the religion of the women that was the problem.
@@SherrickDuncan 🤣🤣🤣
No common sense
Thank you dear rabbi! Amazing teachings!
and then he started to bring idols into israel for some of his wives who did not want to worship The God of Jacob. This was a serious problem.
liar
soloman and muhamed have the same path of the truth they destroy the idols and they worshiping the one god
He made mistakes, like you do. But he was still the wisest person on Earth at his time. And he repented, hence the book of Ecclesiastes.
Solomon wanted peace? No he wanted piece.
Susan Simpson , heh. He wanted a piece of that and a piece of that.
Susan Simpson hee! hee
Sam AND I'M BORN-AGAIN and don't got shit !! 😂😂😂😀
Daniel Robertson in a way i wish God was/is a female goddess......something to fantasize about despite it being impossible to get. Like a usa supermodel hee hee. Queen of Queens....
chuckles...
Because he was a King! And a Prophet and God gave him the greatest kingdom ever.
That time no rule about limitation number of wife, Islam came to limit up to 4, but if u can't do justice between wife, MARRY ONLY ONE !! The only religious book on earth ...
Tovia explained the wives, but not the hundreds of concubines. You have to conclude that Solomon liked the ladies.
The Rabbi has forgotten the Tenach verses that say his wives took him away from worship of Elohim. He started out well, but he was not 12 years old, otherwise there would be a regent appointed for him until he came to be about 20. He must have been 20 because the Tenach says he died after 40 years as king and his son Rehoboam was 41 years old when he became king. So Rehoboam was born 1 year before Solomon was king.
Your math is off he was twelve and reigned 40 years which means he died at 52 years old.
He had a thousand wives and concubines? Gotta wonder how smart Solomon was. Maybe it's like how you call a tall guy "shorty."
Thank you for that simply delivered but great message.
Funny explanation. Simple answer is due to temptation nothing to do with keeping peace with neighbouring kings. Assuming one wife represents one neighbouring king... so 1000 wives means there were 1000 neighbouring kings around Israel at tat time. This does not sound realistic for an area smaller than China or India. Suppose that he had a great wisdom, was there no other way to keep peace.... if this is the case, then the wisdom tgat King Solomon had was not that great, as claimed in yhe bible. Tge truth is this, no matter how wise a man or woman is, if he or she is unable to control his or her basic instincts, then the wisdom will be quite meaningless. In the case of King Solomon, although he was very wise, the wisdom cannot control his basic instincts. He should ask one more thing other than wisdom, that should be tge ability to resist temptation.
IT EASY FOR YOU TO SAY THAT NOW, YOU KNOW THE PAST, BUT AT THAT TIME YOU WOULD HAVE DONE THE SAME THING TO.
It was common practise of Near East to have so many women as you could. In fact Solomon was obliged to have so big "garem" because he was prominent ruler in region. It is clear that 300 and 700 are symbolic numbers. Rabbie's had forbidden poligamy only during middle ages. In written Torah by itself polygamy wasn't forbidden.
j.j.cagney lol at sulaiman huh.....
j.j.cagney and he had a beer belly
Witiok1992 he had around 700 wives
Rabbi Tovia, King Solomon didn't worship idols? It says he even built a high place for Molech. I believe they give children sacrifice to Molech.
1 Kings 11
7: Then did Solomon build an high place for Chemosh, the abomination of Moab, in the hill that is before Jerusalem, and for Molech, the abomination of the children of Ammon.
To all my visitors, welcome to our playground. Here you'll find many little gangs of children fighting over things like a ball, or toy or maybe a packet of sweets. Enjoy the observation!
Baruch HaShem
Its good to be the king.
He is really reaching here with intermarriage with other kingdoms, thats not mentioned anywhere, the obvious was he was a king and could have many women because of his resources, and the women dont mind being in this type of relationship as being married to the king, although shared, would still have a much better life in regards to being taken care of than with a average man
It is because no man in infallible. This was Solomon's greatest weakness and he fell for it to the point of technically worshipping other Gods. David had a similar problem. God let this happen and it was their free will and choice. You can say that it is for the benefit of peace, but you should realize this is 'mostly' false. You dont need 300 concubines when you have 700 wives unless you have a problem. But you know what? There is a benefit of other Kings seeing this as a part of Solomon's wealth. Not to mention the fact that he would have many descendants, which was probably the greatest benefit of all. Concubines in general were, even though a part of ancient society, a sin regardless. In the book of Ezekiel, God describes Israel as his daughter. He clothes her and protects her after He has seen that she is ready for love. It seems a daughter should be protected- concubines alone to any king were a mistake.
Why do I mention this? To reiterate the fact that no man is infallible, and even David made a great mistake, as great a king as he was. We know today the concept of a concubine was wrong, of course that doesnt mean Solomon was a bad person or that he was doing anything out of the norm. I would say that the mistakes he made were exactly as you put it Tovia- He thought for him it would be okay. Why would he think that? Perhaps it was because he thought his wisdom was infallible. But I like to fall on the side of him not wanting to realize that he is partaking in lust, not wanting to say to himself that maybe he has become selfish as a king, regardless of his Wisdom. He ignored it to the point of delusion- He let in other Gods. This is why I fall on the darker side of the same line you're on, because of the delusion in his mind that followed the lustful corruption. The same thing happened with David on a lesser scale, but with David it was committing murder. Great discussion regardless.
No King Solomon did not technically or otherwise, worship other gods which if you listened attentively to Rabbi Singer's shiur you would have heard him say that.
A group of Rabbi's met a few years back, and they decided a Man can have two wives if he can provide for them.
He's supposed to provide separate housing, & there are other rules to it also.
Because there is greed and there is no equality in this world. Others have bountiful while others have none. There is no justice
Think about how many kids king Solomon has around the world.
Rabbi Singer, for Solomon to marry a woman, her father needed to agree to the marriage. What was the reason the neighboring kings agreed to all those marriages of Solomon's ? Also - Solomon's children were not Jewish?
Because he could
I just wondering ,if king Salomon wanted to sleep with his wives, each wife has to wait 3 years to sleep with his husbands. Did he could remember their names. And children also has not enough time to know their fathers. I really have difficulty to believe that.
Bc he worked on a very public job unknowingly. Like a hotel attendant.
Me having more wives makes more war
in koran there is verse about king solomon married Balqis, a queen of sheba kingdom ...
There is no such verse
All of the patriarchs were polygamists. In fact, polygamy is the natural order of man, and almost all are polygamists by nature. Monogamistc relationships is primarily a modern Christian concept.
You're lying. Patriarchal people do not like to share their husband and wife with others. I used to have a non-Patriarchal husband. He wanted an open relationship to include threesome/foursomes. I said, No. I can't imagine sharing my spouse with another person.
@@trcy1977 Yeah this PeteRoy guy is full of shit and doesn't know what he's talking about. Anyhow, it's a good thing you said "no" to the open relationship. Intelligent women with self-worth will never share a man. She'd let the loser go before losing her self-respect.
Rather lame answer to a question for which there is really no good answer that would conform to modern civilized standards of morality.
where was it written that that was the reason he married so many wives? and were there a 1000 nations in his time so he would have to marry the daughter of each king of those nations? could it be that he simply liked many women...? none is perfect. :-)

How much kids did Solomon had
8:00 "Solomon did not worship idols himself"
Does the Hebrew bible read the below differently from the Christian English bible?
1 Kings 11
4 In his old age, his wives tempted him to follow other gods. He was no longer committed to the Lord his God as his father David had been. 5 Solomon followed Astarte (the goddess of the Sidonians) and Milcom (the disgusting idol of the Ammonites). 6 So Solomon did what the Lord considered evil. He did not wholeheartedly follow the Lord as his father David had done. 7 Then Solomon built an illegal worship site on the hill east of Jerusalem for Chemosh (the disgusting idol of Moab) and for Molech (the disgusting idol of the Ammonites). 8 He did these things for each of his foreign wives who burned incense and sacrificed to their gods.
Ki ng Solomon was highly intelligent ....but he did not fear God
Because he didn't have room for 2,000?
King Solomon greatest mistake I believe was going against GOD'S statue. Which includes marrying outsiders!
Alexander Pascua no prophet of god goes against god they were chosen by god for their good nature, honesty. and total submission to one true one god.
2.102 And they followed [instead] what the devils had recited during the reign of Solomon. It was not Solomon who disbelieved, but the devils disbelieved, teaching people magic and that which was revealed to the two angels at Babylon, Harut and Marut. But the two angels do not teach anyone unless they say, "We are a trial, so do not disbelieve [by practicing magic]." And [yet] they learn from them that by which they cause separation between a man and his wife. But they do not harm anyone through it except by permission of Allah . And the people learn what harms them and does not benefit them. But the Children of Israel certainly knew that whoever purchased the magic would not have in the Hereafter any share. And wretched is that for which they sold themselves, if they only knew.
What about his ring?
I see someone in comments from certain religion saying that Jewish scriptures corrupted. Why? Difference is between Jewish and that certain religion is that Torah does not forbid mulitple wives nor set limit. Whereas a certain so called prophet from a certain religion put limit yet exceeded the limit because he has "special privileges." Please do not harass Rabbi with nonsense. Continue Rabbi with your lecture. :)
Are you an apostate from Islam?Prophet Muhammad-PBUH-is a true Prophet of God,do not be deceived.That the Torah was corrupted is obvious and both internal,external as well historical proof abound.Check www.manyprophetsonemessage.com/2015/07/01/which-is-more-historically-reliable-the-quran-or-bible/
In the same site you will also find history of the compilation of the Torah and transmission and how it was corrupted. Jeremiah 8:8 says
"How can you say, "We are wise because we have the word of the LORD," when your teachers have twisted it by writing lies?" (NLT).
Truth Seeker Akhi I appreciate the concern but I cannot put my trust in the religion anymore. Also you are taking Jeremiah 8:8 out of context. Ask Rabbi to explain it you. I see him explain to another Muslim. Peace be upon you.
Hi if I may ask why did you leave Islam?
Guess this is where I bring up the Dostan Samaritans who claimed that ONLY the Ten Utterances came from Heaven and that all the REST of the Torah was made up by Moses...but Jeremiah was clearly pointing to problems of his own time...which would have been SOLVED by the 70-Year exile...though one would surmise those that were writing lies would have found succor with Sanballat when he started setting up Gerizim in opposition to Jerusalem...so it would have been then the Samaritans who were then writing kaka. The Samaritans did NOT recognise Jeremiah or Isaiah or prophets after Moses and even looked to a prophet Greater Than Moses.
5 star channel Also most of the prophet's wives were elderly women ,which actually destroys the myth that he was a pedophile for he could have married any woman he wanted before the limit was set by He The most High.
were do you get Jewish from not in bible
0:00 'Why Did King Solomon have More than One Thousand Wives and Concubines?' - SO HE COULD HAVE 4,000 CHILDREN. Right, I don't need to watch the vid do I?
too many wives and concubines that he forgot who is who and who is from where,and preventing other Israelite men from marrying such----a waste of 'resources'. I don't think he can find a true soul-mate from among his wives. Considering himself to be wise he became a fool and God did punish him.........serve as a lesson for us , not to walk in his wayward ways....

Fidneus Diller which king wasn’t?
Smart guy
An apologist is a person who's already committed to a conclusion and then goes about twisting and contorting their way to making their conclusion palatable, however unreasonable it sounds.
We're told Solomon married his way to peace,... sure marrying the daughters of adversarial nation states was a way of avoiding conflict but over 1000!... C'mon!
Then, the wisest man who ever lived (who also had the gift of prophecy) apparently isn't smart or insightful enough to foresee the impending idol worship that is allowed to penetrate his kingdom under his impressively wise nose.
O.K., you're free to place eruv posts around your intellect but it doesn't pass the sniff test on so many levels.
Christains mocked muslims that why prophet Muhammad SAW had 9 wives.🙄🙄
We religious jews will not use that argument against you
I have an ex, mother of my son, Then there is my sister who would like to see her dead. And then I have a girlfriend who have no love for either of them, but she understands that I have to communicate with my ex for the best of my son.. Then 700 wifes and 300 concubines? I guess he learned a lesson at old age.
Thank you for being mature and not some thirsty idiot. You’re right, they were rife with plots and schemes as to whose child would be heir or favored. I’m female but I came from a female dominated family and went to an all girls school. It’s not some porn show. The fact that I went into a 94% male industry should say a lot. Not that men can’t be bitchy but women due to men’s greed and weakness make women very competitive and ruthless. They constantly feel insecure because history teaches us we will be replaced and sometimes that could be loss of money or your life, back then and today.
You sound like a guy with your head screwed on. Best wishes to you and your girlfriend
Stop trying to clean Salomons image cause only one king was really good and his name is Jeshua

Wow one thousand countries
Christians talk about Mohammed having wives
And Aisha marrige age 😂first her age was never mentioned in the Qur'an 2nd marry was 12 when she got married to Joseph 90 years old 😁🤗
So Salomon had 8.76 hours per years on average, for each wives, yep that does make a lot sense
He would have had his harem grooming him, more than one women at a time, and probably let his rich mates enjoy his errotic parties( im just being real/ not looking through religious eyes that are blinded to truth) the girls were probably expected to enjoy each other .... yes just like a playboy mansion.... come on people see it for what it really is..... he could not have emotional relationships with all if them ... but he could sleep with a group of them at once

So there were 1000 other kingdoms around his? Yeah, right!
700 wives were from nobility.
Susan Simpson: Solomon married them continuosly for political peace, but not real peace, as the Tenach teaches civil war came to Israel after Solomon's death. It calculates out to a marriage every 2 weeks. No marital love was in such marriages as they were political and no children from these women are listed either except for Rehoboam who was born 1 year before Solomon became king.

King salomon, you rock!
King Solomon rocked with all the wisdom but he missed out on Viagra. I know the king now wish he had some Viagra
Concerning a Godly king:
"When you come to the land which the Lord your God is giving you, and possess it and dwell in it, and say, ‘I will set a king over me like all the nations that are around me,’ 15 you shall surely set a king over you whom the Lord your God chooses; one from among your brethren you shall set as king over you; you may not set a foreigner over you, who is not your brother. 16 But he shall not multiply horses for himself, nor cause the people to return to Egypt to multiply horses, for the Lord has said to you, ‘You shall not return that way again'. 17 Neither shall he multiply wives for himself, lest his heart turn away; nor shall he greatly multiply silver and gold for himself.
18 “Also it shall be, when he sits on the throne of his kingdom, that he shall write for himself a copy of this law in a book, from the one before the priests, the Levites. 19 And it shall be with him, and he shall read it all the days of his life, that he may learn to fear the Lord his God and be careful to observe all the words of this law and these statutes, 20 that his heart may not be lifted above his brethren, that he may not turn aside from the commandment to the right hand or to the left, and that he may prolong his days in his kingdom, he and his children in the midst of Israel". ~ Deuteronomy 17
So, no amassing of horses, no multiplying of wives, and no excessive accumulating of silver and gold.
These commands were designed to prevent the king from trusting in military might, following foreign God's, and relying on wealth instead of on God. In modern times, a President, Premier, or Prime Minister, seeking to be a Godly leader is faced with abiding by this instruction.
In terms Of Solomon's gold, I don't see this as violating the Law. He brought the gold in for the benefit of the Kingdom, not just himself, and he didn't necessarily greatly multiply it, depending on what you views as greatly.
So much for “the Bible says that marriage is between one man and ‘one’ woman.”
lol
Reply to Matt Vinci - So what...? King David had SEVEN wives, and ‘many’ concubines. King Solomon had 700 wives and 300 concubines. Those are biblical facts, and *nothing* you’ve said refutes any of it...!

It doesn't say that phrase at all.
Bill O'Reilly does. 😄
Why did king Solomon have over one thousand wives?
Because he could.
The real lesson that no one is above the law, Moses paid the price, so did David, and Solomon. And all these wishiwoshi explanations don’t hold any water.
The Bible is clear in 1 Kings 11 and there is no respect of Persons with the “God of Gods” in Deuteronomy 10:17 and He cannot be bribed. All the promises to True Biblical Israel were fulfilled as it is written in the word.
Absolutely I don't share your point of view, that man didn’t trust in the Lord IF that was the reason(s). Obviously, he had no morals. He wasn’t doing what the Lord Almighty Told him to do. He was preaching something and living in immorality.
Besides that, how many countries were surrounding Israel in those days? No more than four. I am not saying this to criticize him. I am saying this to make sense of his behavior and immorality. The Lord Always has been able to protect and provide for Israel, he didn’t need foreign women or many wives to empower himself!
The only things we can to are: Obey and Respect The Lord. Nothing else, No one can tell he/she loves God if such a person doesn’t obey nor respect Him.
Don’t judge me wrong, I love Salomon, pieces of advice, they are all wonderful and useful. I want and I need to practice, believe and enforce them in my daily living, but I want and I need to stay away from his life examples.
Julio Villalta most everyone in the Hebrew Scriptures had multiple wife Solomon just did it big
These were not all wives and concubines in the way you are describing. Many of these women were well cared for but were. "political wives" ..... but there were obvious issues that the Rabbi only began to discuss in this short video.
obviously he had a lust issue... a terrible one, maybe worse than hugh hefner
The Rabbi explains man's solution for peace in the empire, and not that God centered, because Solomon catered to making idols compatible w the wives religion etc.? Hebrews were forbidden to intermarriage w the heathen. The Bible relates that all have sinned, and likely making a point that even the wisest man succumbed? This is one of the reasons for God's announcement that He would divide Israel into 2 nations, after Solomon?
What a wonderful time it must of been during Solomon's time.
😂
😂
Because men like women.
Oddly more than one women firstly came with Lamech who was regarded as egotistical and rather narcisstic.
The practicality of one man having so many “wives” (700) and “concubines” (300) and meeting their needs is questionable. More than likely many were nominal wives, wives in name only, enjoyed the benevolence of the king but with whom the king had little or no conjugal relations.
waste of precious resources -agreed ?
Solomon was Sinning Plain Simple. God never told Solomon to have many wives. He was given over to his lust. He was given over to his sins and did not repent until his later days of his life and then written the letter Ecclesiastes. God never told David not have many wife. God say it plainly one wife only. Both David and Solomon were sinning.
Is that right...??
Jesus Christ did not say anything against David and Solomon in his sermons
There are about 19 verses in the Quran about Solomon. Allah swt gave both David PBUH and Solomon PBUH great knowledge and wisdom
Quran 27:15 We gave (in the past) knowledge to David and Solomon: And they both said: "Praise be to Allah, Who has favoured us above many of his servants who believe!"

Wasn't multiple wives against scripture? Otherwise, it makes sense and was probably a burden more than anything.
Phillip Solesky No not at all. Abraham m, Isaac and Jacob all had multiple wives. Jews at least those residing in Europe only stopped having multiple wives during the Middle Ages with the enactment of Rabbeinu Gershom a later Rabbinic and not Biblical proscription.
Although Kings are proscribed from having too many wives (pegged at a max of 18)
Monogamy is actually rooted in paganism and forced by the Roman Empire
Polygamy is a sin.
Polygamy teachers are sinners.

Jacob buried Leah with Abraham and his wife Sarah and Isaac and his wife Rebecca.
Polygamy was a sin in the Old Testament.
The 'Jewish' term wasn't yet invented when king Solomon reigned, so 'conversion of wives to judaism' couldn't take place yet. By marriage, they immediately became one of the tribe.
im sure those woman where so happy
Well they were probably better off than if they had married some poor schmuck.
Omgosh , they were happy, beauty treatments, royal foods, royal wine, married to a king, party party party
Well, he was the King, they had better be happy.
That explains the viwes. But I still wait for the explanation for the concubines...
No replies. Fascinating
This is just a thought. Did they come with the wives such as the handmaidens came with Leah and Rachel. They were there from the same city to help out these ladies of upper-class. And Jacob slept with handmaidens. What's the difference between that and a Concubine.This idea is really more of a question
My only question is ...
at what point did he
play a game of fifa with the lads?
6:08 And [mention] David and Solomon, when they judged concerning the field - when the sheep of a people overran it [at night], and We were witness to their judgement.
We guided ˹young˺ Solomon to a fairer settlement, and granted each of them wisdom and knowledge. We subjected the mountains as well as the birds to hymn ˹Our praises˺ along with David. It is We Who did ˹it all˺.
And We taught him the fashioning of coats of armor to protect you from your [enemy in] battle. So will you then be grateful?
And to Solomon [We subjected] the wind, blowing forcefully, proceeding by his command toward the land which We had blessed. And We are ever, of all things, Knowing.

He had one wife and a Slave that the king of Egypt gave him, he married again one woman after Sarah his legal wife died, the other woman was Sarah's slave not his wife, when the slave was pregnant and throwing It in Sarah's face Sarah went to Abraham and complained, he told her to do with her as you please, then he sent the slave away once the son from his wife was weaned... he sent the slave and her son away into the desert
@Joe Bide for men its open door to have more then 1 wife, and no single book said not allowed
@@sarahwaters10sw she wasn't a slave.
@@sarahwaters10sw funny how the Old Testament tries to make out Hagar and Ismael to be illegitimate when God Himself protected them in the desert and promises greatness for Ishmael’s descendants. Ismael was also circumcised and he practiced the same religion as Abraham. If he was disowned, he wouldn’t have been circumcised nor would he have attended Abraham’s funeral. Even Moses married Zipporah, who was herself an Ishmaelite, a monotheist follower of Abraham’s religion...otherwise Moses wouldn’t have married her is she was a pagan. I even heard a Rabbi come up with a theory that Zipporah’s father Jethro was a priest/guardian of the Kaaba. The same Rabbi went on to theorize that the Kaaba was a Jewish temple that Moses wanted to bring his people to for pilgrimage. Well, we Muslims say Abraham built the Kaaba with Ishmael. Muhamad, a descendant of Ishmael, was sent to restore the true religion of Abraham after they deviated into idolatry over the generations. This anti-IShmael stance of Christians and Jews, is due to the tribalist mentality of Middle Easterners (they are still tribalist people, whether 5000 years and today 2021, evident in modern day Arabia...’my tribe is superior to yours’ bs), who ever added or purposely mistranslated that line accusing Ishmael of being like a wild donkey...so fake...and contradicts the other verses in favor of him.
The answer is easy: he was a sinner like the rest of us in need of a saviour.
P.S... King David did not have 18 wives,but he had 8 wives and 10 concubines...In Hebrew culture,concubines are not considered to be wives....Jeesh!...That's all...Shalom
