Question: Who was the first man in the Bible to have two wives at the same time?
Answer: Lamech. (Genesis 4:19)
Comments: Lamech, the first polygamist in the Bible, is descended from the line of Cain. (Genesis 4:18) Though the Bible never explicitly forbids polygamy, its results in Biblical examples are never positive.
Lamech took to himself two wives: the name of the one was Adah, and the name of the other, Zillah. (Genesis 4:19, NASB)
