King Solomon's and King David's Wives
Google: Solomon had seven hundred wives of royal birth and three hundred concubines, and his wives led him astray. As Solomon grew old, his wives turned his heart after other gods, and his heart was not fully devoted to the LORD his God, as the heart of David his father had been; (1Kings 11).
King David had 8 wives: Michal, Ahinoam, Abigai,l Maachah, Haggith, Abital, Eglah and Bathsheba.
Wikipedia: The Book of Chronicles lists Solomon’s sons with his various wives and concubines. In Hebron, David had six sons: Amnon, by Ahinoam; Daniel, by Abigail; Absalom, by Maachah; Adonijah, by Haggith; Shephatiah, by Abital; and Ithream, by Eglah.[26] By Bathsheba, his sons were Shammua, Shobab, Nathan, and Solomon. David's sons born in Jerusalem of his other wives included Ibhar, Elishua, Eliphelet, Nogah, Nepheg, Japhia, Elishama and Eliada.[27] Jerimoth, who is not mentioned in any of the genealogies, is mentioned as another of his sons in 2Chronicles 11:18. His daughter Tamar, by Maachah, is raped by her half-brother Amnon. David fails to bring Amnon to justice for his violation of Tamar, because he is his firstborn and he loves him, and so, Absalom (her full brother) murders Amnon to avenge Tamar.[28] Despite the great sins they had committed, David showed grief at the deaths of his sons, weeping twice for Amnon [2Samuel 13:31–26] and weeping seven times for Absalom.
