Shalom sdr, my devotion today, Tue, Sept. 14, CONCUBINE (I Chron. 2:18, 46, 48). Concubine is not the same as wife. A man sleep and have children with her, but she is not the same as the wife.
1. She is not married.
Usually, a concubine is not married legally and formally. They lived together based on personal agreement.
2. She is not loved.
Many times, love is not involved in the relationship with the concubines. They come together with someone or something else. Just like Solomon. Many of his concubines were gifts from his vassals. He didn’t love them as he loved his wives. Probably, he didn’t sleep with them too.
3. She is not treated the same as wives.
Their children were treated differently. Their inheritances also were given differently from the legal children. God doesn’t like concubines. A man only can marry with a woman. ASH.
