David, Solomon etc may have had more than one wife, but who says that that was God's will for them?
Ever since the Garden, God has allowed mankind to make their own choices - and often we have to live with the consequences of those choices.
The Lord commanded men not to marry women from other countries, so that their faith would not be compromised and they would not worship other gods. Solomon disobeyed that, 1 Kings 11:1-2 - and his wives led him astray, 1 Kings 11:3-5.
What did Jesus say about divorce? See Matthew 19:8
