700.

1 Kings 11:1 King Solomon, however, loved many foreign women besides Pharaoh's daughter-Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Sidonians and Hittites. 2 They were from nations about which the LORD had told the Israelites, "You must not intermarry with them, because they will surely turn your hearts after their gods." Nevertheless, Solomon held fast to them in love. 3 He had seven hundred wives of royal birth and three hundred concubines, and his wives led him astray. 4 As Solomon grew old, his wives turned his heart after other gods, and his heart was not fully devoted to the LORD his God, as the heart of David his father had been.

How many wives did King Solomon have?

The Bible says King Solomon had 700 wives and 300 concubines. As archaeologists say this was a large proportion of the entire population of Jerusalem at the start of the tenth century BCE, this would mean, if read literally, that the entire male population lived in enforced celibacy. Nevertheless, over a period of forty years, the Bible mentions no uprising against Solomon.

Why did they have multiple wives in the Bible?

It was a decesion from man that they took multiple wives in the Bible. God allowed men to have multiple wives in the Old Testament eventhough God intended only one wife for a man originally. It was Lamech who is from the lineage of Cain took two wives (Gen 4:19). The New Testament does not allow multiple wives (1 Cor 7:49; 1Tim 3:2,12; Matt 19:5-9)

What are the names of Solomon's wives?

Solomon had hundreds of wives, or at least a lot. I don't believe the Bible ever mentions their names. But it does say Solomon built them idols because they asked for them, and for that, God was not pleased. If you want to know the rest, just read it in the Bible. Some of his father David's wives were Bathsheba, Abigail, and Michal (or a name like that). I think Bathsheba was Solomon's mom. Also, although Solomon did not marry her, and although it is not mentioned in the Bible, some believe he had a son with the Queen of Sheba.1 Kings 3:1 (King James Version)1And Solomon made affinity with Pharaoh king of Egypt, and took Pharaoh's daughter, and brought her into the city of David, until he had made an end of building his own house, and the house of the LORD, and the wall of Jerusalem round about.This illustrates that Solomon acquired wives for political purposes, contrary to God's command. This is the first wife of Solomon mentioned in the Bible, although her name is not recorded.
