Shameless diversion aside, I agree. Let’s get back to biblical principles.
How many wives and concubines did Soloman have again?

This is very OT (excuse the pun); for a NT ref see Matthew 25:1-12: “...the
kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and
went forth to meet the bridegroom....” ;)

Why don’t you leave the exogesis of the Bible to those who know what they are
talking about (as you obviously don’t).

If you’d read the header & not snipped quite so much text, you’d see I was
talking about polygyny in NT “biblical times”; what are you talking about?

Relevance? (as if polygamy was a “biblical principle”).

(I think you mean polygyny).

The point is moot, to Christians at least. Jesus’ teaching on the subject is
clear, as He quotes from Genesis (capitalized):
“And He answered and said, “Have you not read that He who created them from
the beginning MADE THEM MALE AND FEMALE, and said, FOR THIS REASON A MAN
SHALL LEAVE HIS FATHER AND MOTHER AND BE JOINED TO HIS WIFE, AND THE TWO
SHALL BECOME ONE FLESH’? “So they are no longer two, but one flesh. What
therefore God has joined together, let no man separate.” Matthew 19:4-6
