And, in that procreation, more Christians are produced and what could be wrong with that.
The examples of many wives and concubines are numerous in the Old Testament - a time when men were naturally closer to God.
So, to return to the court case, we see that the lack of jail time reflects a Christian view and gives a nod to "man's law" - the judge, in handing out this sentence, showed the wisdom of Solomon.

Thank you, Pastor, for shedding light on this most misunderstood issue. When we simply read the Word of God we find solutions not available elsewhere. When a man finds there is a shortage of children he must find a solution. This man noticed the shortage and decided to do something about it.
Many school districts are finding there are fewer children to teach. We could all learn from him.
