1 Kings 11:3 mentions that Solomon had 700 wives and 300 concubines. Do you think that he knew them all by name

No, I don't think he did...that's what the king's staff are for: "Your majesty, this is Betty. >Betsy? >No, she was yesterday"

I'm not crazy...oh, wait, nevermind.

It's a hard number to wrap your brain around! Just imagine, that's 1000 significant others. There's only 365 days in a year so you can see them once every three years. And that's twice the size of most Canadian Reformed churches in the Fraser Valley. Imagine if it was you and hundreds of your wives....

Hey Dave,

It told me to tell the adminstrator so I thought I'd tell you :)

P.S. It won't let me reply to the poll (it obviously works on this post)

I seem to recall having the same problem with this post. Not quite sure what the problem is/was. I don't feel like spending too much time trying to figure out the source of the problem though.
