“For behold, thus saith the Lord: This people begin to wax in iniquity; they understand not the scriptures, for they seek to excuse themselves in committing whoredoms, because of the things which were written concerning David, and Solomon his son.

“Behold, David and Solomon truly had many wives and concubines, which thing was abominable before me, saith the Lord.”

Jacob 2:23-24, Book of Mormon (Salt Lake City, UT: The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, 1977 edition), 111.
