D&C 132 uses the polygamy of David and Solomon as a justification for the doctrine of polygamy. <br /><br />D&C 132:1 <br />VERILY, thus saith the Lord unto <br />you my servant Joseph, that inasmuch <br />as you have inquired of my <br />hand to know and understand wherein <br />I, the Lord, justified my servants <br />Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, as also <br />Moses, David and Solomon, my <br />servants, as touching the principle and <br />doctrine of their having many <br />wives and concubines-- <br /><br />D&C 132:39 <br />39 David's wives and concubines <br />were given unto him of me, by the <br />hand of Nathan, my servant, and <br />others of the prophets who had the <br />keys of this power; and in none of <br />these things did he sin against me <br />save in the case of Uriah and his <br />wife; and, therefore he hath fallen <br />from his exaltation, and received <br />his portion; and he shall not inherit <br />them out of the world, for I gave <br />them unto another, saith the Lord. <br /><br />The Book of Mormon calls the polygamy of <br />David and Solomon an abomination <br /><br />Jacob 2:23-24 <br />23 But the word of God burdens <br />me because of your grosser crimes. <br />For behold, thus saith the Lord: <br />This people begin to wax in iniquity; <br />they understand not the scriptures, <br />for they seek to excuse themselves in <br />committing whoredoms, because of <br />the things which were written concerning <br />David, and Solomon his son. <br />24 Behold, David and Solomon <br />truly had many wives and concubines, <br />which thing was abominable <br />before me, saith the Lord.
