Instead of allowing polygamy the Quran forbids a man taking more than one wife at a time.
This could have happened with the New Testament limiting Church elders to just one wife and the Jewish Essene's were not fans of polygamy. Also monogamy would be a important differentiation between Muslims and Jews (who at the time allowed polygamy).
