Does Hebrews 13:4 require Christians to recognize legitimate polygynous unions?

Jesus is the Master and Provider for your family. He’s also Master and Provider for many other families. Jesus is also adding families each day. King David had roughly 20 wives - and was not condemned for it. If his Master (God) did not condemn his own servant for having roughly 20 wives - than who are we condemn someone else? And the person condemning - have you’ve ever fornicated with a virgin and didn’t marry her? Have you’ve fornicated with a whore? Have you’ve broken wedlock for something besides sexual immorality? If yes - scripture says God will judge you. But God will not judge men marrying multiple wives the correct way - under Jesus’ guidelines. Especially being an instrument of God and having the children walk in the ways of the Lord and Jesus being their rock foundation. The husband then becomes an instrument to shield his own family from the lies of Satan and to provide and love.
