There was an historic Israel King named David that had 4 wives. The wives actually got along with each other & had no problems sharing their husband with each other. ;)
While you are correct that he had (not 4 but 5) wives, he favored Bathsheba over all the others and while the historic records that I know of do not say that the wives were distraught over this arrangement, it must be noted too that at the time, women were not entitled to an opinion. Some husbands allowed it but others did not. There are also many other records that show the very opposite. Abraham and Sarah with Tamar as having been given to Abraham by Sarah as a wife to give him the children Sarah could not. It took exactly no time for Sarah to become jealous and envious of Tamar. Which led to Abraham having to choose against the two women. That is one example that counters the one you used.
I may be wrong about Tamar being her name though.
