Comedian and actor Bright Okpocha, aka Basketmouth, has cited cases of polygamous men in the Bible and noted that it didn't stop their relationship with God.

He said several men who married one wife betrayed God and lost their relationship with Him. Men in this category in the Bible were Ananias, Jeroboam, Nebuchadnezzar, and Haaman, among others.

The funnyman stated that the men with more than one wife in the Bible, such as Elkanah, Lemech, David, and Solomon, among others, were favoured by God.

"Abraham had only one wife. The maid that bore Ishmael wasn't his wife. Abraham married Keturah after the death of Sarah. So, Abraham didn't marry 3 wives."
