Marrying a Captive Woman
When you go to war against your enemies and the LORD your God delivers them into your hand and you take them captive, Deu 20:10-16Jos 21:44 if you see a beautiful woman among them, and you desire her and want to take her as your wife, Gen 12:14-15Gen 29:18-20Gen 34:3Gen 34:8Gen 6:2Jdg 14:2-3Num 31:18Pro 31:10 then you shall bring her into your house.

After she has lived in your house a full month and mourned her father and mother, you may have relations with her and be her husband, and she shall be your wife. And if you are not pleased with her, you are to let her go wherever she wishes. But you must not sell her for money or treat her as a slave, since you have dishonored her. Deu 22:29Gen 34:2Deu 22:19Deu 22:24Exo 21:7-11Jdg 19:24
Inheritance Rights of the Firstborn
If a man has two wives, one beloved and the other unloved, and both bear him sons, but the unloved wife has the firstborn son, Gen 29:33Gen 29:201Sa 1:4-5Gen 29:18Gen 29:30-31 when that man assigns his inheritance to his sons he must not appoint the son of the beloved wife as the firstborn over the son of the unloved wife. 1Ch 26:101Ch 5:22Ch 21:3Heb 12:16-17Php 4:8Rom 8:292Ch 11:19-22
Instead, he must acknowledge the firstborn, the son of his unloved wife, by giving him a double portion of all that he has. For that son is the firstfruits of his father’s strength; the right of the firstborn belongs to him. Gen 49:3Gen 25:31-341Ch 5:1-2Psa 105:36Gen 25:5-6
A Rebellious Son
(Luke 15:11–32)
If a man has a stubborn and rebellious son who does not obey his father and mother and does not listen to them when disciplined, Exo 20:12Lev 19:3Amo 4:11-12Heb 12:9-11Eph 6:1-3Isa 1:2Isa 1:5Pro 19:18 his father and mother are to lay hold of him and bring him to the elders of his city, to the gate of his hometown, Deu 16:18Deu 21:2Deu 25:7Zec 13:3 and say to the elders, “This son of ours is stubborn and rebellious; he does not obey us. He is a glutton and a drunkard.” Pro 20:1Pro 23:29-35Pro 23:19-21Pro 29:17Pro 19:26
Then all the men of his city will stone him to death. So you must purge the evil from among you, 1 and all Israel will hear and be afraid. Deu 19:19-20Deu 13:10-11Deu 13:5Lev 24:16Deu 17:5Deu 22:21Deu 22:24
