Playboy Mansion
I've heard that the Playboy Mansion is considered to be the actual house of Satan himself, is that true?
You choose to combine the old concept of the devil ( Satan ) with the modern stupidity of keeping too many women, but the keeping of too many women is a very old concept approved of by God himself in more than one case.

"You shall not go up in unto them, neither shall any of them come in to yours, for they will most certainly turn away your heart to follow their gods." And to these was Solomon joined with a most ardent love. And he had seven hundred wives as queens, and three hundred concubines: and the women turned away his heart. ( 3 Kings 11:2) |

Mousetrails, the wives David and Solomon as you well quoted were giving by God with specific requirements and conditions(I personally have no issues with plural marriage as long as it is sanctioned by God).
The playboy mansion is just full of women who denigrate themselves by doing porn who satisfy the wants of a lustful old man. As far as I am concerned, I never heard he was commanded by the Almighty to sacrifice himself and take as "wives" or concubines beautiful models.
I went back and read 2nd and 3rd Kings again and found no passage where women were given by God to either King David, or Solomon. I also found no passage where God approved of all those women. In fact God very much disapproved of Solomon's collection. The Bible says they "took" the women. If I missed something in my reading please point it out, so I may learn.
Now I have no use for lecherous old men that collect women and photograph them for the sake of the almighty dollar. I was pointing out that greedy men, kings and otherwise, have collected beautiful women since history has been recorded.

12:7 And Nathan said to David, Thou [art] the man. Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, I anointed thee king over Israel, and I delivered thee out of the hand of Saul; 12:8 And I gave thee thy master's house, and thy master's wives into thy bosom, and gave thee the house of Israel and of Judah; and if [that had been] too little, I would moreover have given unto thee such and such things. |
White flag! White flag! You are the Mistress of the Remembered Scripture on this one. Way in the back of my failing memory something stirred, but I did not find 2 Kings 12:7-8. I have no use for Hugh Heffner anyway. He has managed to become wealthy exploiting the most beautiful thing in all creation, the human female body.
Second Samuel is also known as Second Kings. What it really all boils down to is my eyesight is failing along with everything else, so I got lazy and gave up finding the passage I thought might be there. Sorry for the confusion.
