700 wives, 300 Concubines. WHY?

700 wives not 600.
1 Kings 11:3
“And he had seven hundred wives, princesses, and three hundred concubines: and his wives turned away his heart.”

2 Samuel 5:13 KJV
“And David took him more concubines and wives out of Jerusalem, after he was come from Hebron: and there were yet sons and daughters born to David.”

Handmaids made into concubines; I think both were used the same most of the time.

Judges 16:30 KJV
“And Samson said, Let me die with the Philistines. And he bowed himself with all his might; and the house fell upon the lords, and upon all the people that were therein. So the dead which he slew at his death were more than they which he slew in his life.”
