2 Chronicles : Women (7)

  1. God tells Solomon that he likes him so darned much (he likes murderers and polygamists) that he's going to make him the richest man who has ever lived. 1:11-12
  2. Solomon's Egyptian wife can't be around holy places. Is that because she is a woman or because she is an Egyptian, or both? 8:11
  3. Rehoboam loved Maachah the daughter of Absalom above all his wives and his concubines." 11:21a
  4. "He took eighteen wives, and threescore concubines." 11:21b
  5. "Rehoboam ... dealt wisely ... and desired many wives." 11:22-23
  6. "But Abijah waxed mighty, and married fourteen wives." Apparently, in the eyes of God, a man's status is determined by the number of wives that he possesses. 13:21
  7. "Jehoiada took for him two wives" -- without comment, complaint, or criticism from the bible. 24:3
