According to the Bible, King Solomon (the wise king) had 700 wives and 300 concubines.

His father, David (the one who killed Goliath), had 8 wives that are mentioned in the text.

So "Biblical marriage" could be monogamy (like Mary and Joseph) or a wide variety of polygamous options. Either way, the most important part is that women must be faithful to only one husband.
