Bible VersionsNIV2 Samuel2 Samuel 52 Samuel 5:13
Anti - Polygamy take Deut 17:17 out of proper context and understanding.
The context is “older pagan Baal fertility pagan god worshiping women” “because they will lead him away from the LORD”. This is the context connected to the statement in verse 17 they totally chose to ignore. God is very pro-polygamy.

15 If this happens, be sure that you select as king the man the LORD your God chooses. You must appoint a fellow Israelite, not a foreigner.
16 The king must not build up a large stable of horses for himself, and he must never send his people to Egypt (Baal pagan fertility god idol worship) to buy horses there, for the LORD has told you, 'You must never return to Egypt.'
17 The king must not take many (foreigners or Egyptian per context) wives for himself, because they (older pagan foreigners or Egyptian wives) will lead him away from the LORD. And he must not accumulate vast amounts of wealth in silver and gold for himself. (ok to do it for the whole nation)
18 "When he sits on the throne as king, he must copy these laws on a scroll for himself in the presence of the Levitical priests.
Many Godly Israeli wives will NOT lead him away from the LORD but many old foreigner or Egyptian pagan wives that already worship the pagan fertility god of Baal will lead him to worship their pagan god.

1 Kings 15:5 (New Living Translation)
5 For David had done what was pleasing in the LORD's sight and had obeyed the LORD's commands throughout his life, except in the affair concerning Uriah the Hittite.
1 Kings 11:4, 6 For it came to pass, when Solomon was old, that his (pagan) 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 ...

From attending to the duty of his office, the care and government of his people, and from serious religion; and particularly from the worship of the true God, as the heart of Solomon was turned away from it by his numerous idolatrous wives, 1 Kings 11:3, it is a common notion of the Jews that a king might have eighteen wives, and no more (k): neither shall he greatly multiply to himself silver and gold; he might increase his wealth, but not greatly, lest his heart should be lifted up with pride by it, and lest his subjects should be oppressed and burdened with taxes for that purpose; or he, being possessed of so much, should make use of it to enslave them, and especially should be so elated with it as to deny God, and despise his providence, and disobey his laws; see Proverbs 30:9. The Jews generally say (l), that he ought not to multiply more than what will pay the stipends or wages of his servants, and only for the treasury of the house of the Lord, and for the necessity of the congregation (or commonwealth), and for their wars; but not for himself, and his own treasury.
