King David - Warrior, Poet… and Husband?

King David is one of the most legendary figures in the Bible. The shepherd turned giant slayer, songwriter turned king, man after God’s own heart. His story is packed with drama, from battlefield victories to family betrayals. But one part of David’s life that doesn’t get as much attention? His love life.

And make no mistake, David’s love life was complicated.

The Bible makes it clear that David had multiple wives, but the exact number isn’t so easy to pin down. Some are named, others are just hinted at, and then there’s the whole situation with his concubines. (Yeah, those were a thing, too.) Was this just how things worked in ancient Israel? Did David ever bite off more than he could chew? And how did all of these marriages shape his reign—and his legacy?

That’s what we’re digging into. Who did David marry, why did he marry them, and what can we learn from the way his relationships played out? It’s not all romance and happily-ever-afters.
