Did Adam have a wife before Eve?

Maybe. The “story” is that Adam’s first wife, Lilith, was insubordinate and therefore replaced by Eve.

The Scripture that supports this is man and women were made on the sixth day, but Eve was not mentioned until later. The argument is that Genesis is written in a circular type of writing where it is repeating events and adding detail. However, just reading the text you could conjecture that there was another woman made the same day man was, but she would not submit and Adam was left to tend the garden alone. Hence why he was given Eve, but as Jesus said, from the beginning it was not so. The second argument against this is that the book of Romans says, sin entered the world through Adam, not Lilith; and for her to be insubordinate would mean sin. However, Ecclesiastes says there is not one righteous woman, and it was not until Adam had eaten the fruit that their eyes were opened, not Eve’s. So, the rebuttal is that God did not count it as sin against either woman for disobeying, it was Adam’s responsibility to govern and he didn’t.
