You might have seen a pain scale in your doctor's office before. One common type shows a series of numbered cartoon faces moving from 0 (smiling and pain-free) to 10 (weeping in agony.) A doctor would ask a person in pain which face matched up with what they were feeling. They might seem simple.
In our day this might be more than one. For Israelite King Echov, one particular foreign wife, Isabel, was one too many. King David is said to have had eighteen wives and concubines, seven mentioned by name in the OT and the others mentioned in the oral tradition.
According to 2 Chronicles 11:18, Jerimoth, who is not mentioned in any of the genealogies, is another of King Davidâs sons. Sons born by his concubines are not named. David also had at least one daughter, Tamar, who was raped by her half-brother Amnon. Tamar's rape led to Amnon's death. Additional daughters are not mentioned in the Bible.
