Many of the characters in the Old Testament were polygamous. Can you name three very prominant characters who married only one at a time?

Rachel, wife of Isaac
Rebecca, wife of Jacob
Noah's wife?

Sarai then Sarah, was the only wife of Abram\Abraham, but he had a son with Hagai...Does that count?

Jacob had four wives (Rachel, Leah, Dinah, and...hmm..I forgot the fourth...)

Other possible answers ("prominant" being the key word here):

Adam and Eve
Noah and his unnamed wife
Abraham and Sarah
...he didn't marry Keturah until Sarah had died, and the servant girl was just a one-night-stand
Isaac and Rebecca
Moses and the daughter of Reuel
Hosea and Gomer (other wives aren't mentioned, I only assume she was the only one)

Nice job, jell8

(there might be others, but I can't think of any)

I thought all the concubines were secondary wives, and just the first one was 'the wife'.
