The Bible does not allow divorce, so only one wife is allowed.
More information:
There are a number of patterns of marriage in both the Hebrew and Christian Scriptures. In the Hebrew texts, polygamy is not unusual, and most of the Hebrew patriarchs are recorded as having several wives. Kings of Israel and Judah had vast harems. As a patriarchal society, Hebrew men could dismiss (divorce) their wives easily, and women could divorce their husbands under specific, limited circumstances, such as withholding of intercourse to prevent pregnancy. A notable divorce is Abraham's dismissal of Hagar at Sarah's insistence.
In the Christian Scriptures, in most instances men are limited to one wife. However, some allowances are given, specifically in regards to "unbelievers," (2 Corinthians 6: 13-16) and in the case of adultery.
