Bible Riddle: March 2002

I was the son of a famous king,
But no great fame to my land did I bring.

I followed my father to the throne,
But much of his power soon was gone.

I refused the counsel of wise old men;
There were only two that stayed with me then.

I bought a shameful peace with an Egyptian band;
It cost me the greatest treasures of the land.

My 18 wives and 60 concubines to me bore
Eighty-eight children. Who fathered more?

My name from you I surely can’t hide
Though I may not speak it with very great pride.
