Brother Eli decided to throw more light on this biblical principle about the disapproval of polygamy and sin. In the lives of David and Solomon, despite their power as kings. Their choices of taking multiple wives and concubines led them to so many consequences and downfall, which underscores the standards of God, which supersedes the authority of women.
David, a man, after God had faced several punishments, after his sin with Bathsheba, the child was born in their union, died, and that was the consequence of David's actions.
This chapter is a reminder that no one is above the law of God, not even the king or a great man. Solomon also was known for his wisdom, but he failed after he disobeyed God by marrying 700 wives and 300 concubines.
So this actions provoke the anger of God, leading to spiritual decline in later years. This example shows that God's design for man is rooted in fidelity and obedience, not in those indulgences of earthly power or your status.
Brother Eli main emphasis is on human free will. We can choose to obey or disobey, but our decisions carry so much weight. The fire in the day of judgment will answer for the choices we make. Align our life with the will of God and must resist all temptation of power and all this desire.
