Most people would say yes.

AnswerSolomon definitely had too many wives and concubines

1Kgs 11:1-4 (KJV)

1Kgs 11 (v.1) But king Solomon loved many strange women, together with the daughter of Pharaoh, women of the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Zidonians, and Hittites; 1Kgs 11 (v.2) Of the nations concerning which the LORD said unto the children of Israel, Ye shall not go in to them, neither shall they come in unto you: for surely they will turn away your heart after their gods: Solomon clave unto these in love. 1Kgs 11 (v.3) And he had seven hundred wives, princesses, and three hundred concubines: and his wives turned away his heart. 1Kgs 11 (v.4) For it came to pass, when Solomon was old, that his wives turned away his heart after other gods: and his heart was not perfect with the LORD his God, as was the heart of David his father.
