This is tricky question. Adam, the first man ever created, had the largest number of children ever procreated on earth. I think.

Jacob, Jacob had twelve sons by four women, his wives, Leah and Rachel, and his concubines, Bilhah and Zilpah, who were in order of their birth, Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Dan, Naphtalli, Gad, Asher, Issachar, Zebulun,  Joseph, and Benjamin. All of whom become the heads of their own family groups.

We can look at Solomon for an example. King Solomon had 700 wives and 300 concubines (1 Kings 11:3), yet the Bible only mentions one son (Rehoboam) and two daughters ( Taphath and Basemath) that belonged to him. With the number of wives and concubines that Solomon had it is very likely he had many more children than just the three that are recorded.

It seems that during the old times, children are their treasure in life. With regard to your question, it is Rehoboam who has lots of children and in total is 88, sons 60 and daughters 28. There is no doubt because he has 18 wives and 60 concubines.

The Bible does not list a single child as a product of God's love. However, there are several children who are mentioned in the Bible. They are:

1. David's children

2. the children of God

3. the children of the light

4. the children of the truth

5. the children of God's chosen people

According to the Bible, the person who had the most children was Jacob, who had 12 sons and at least one daughter with his two wives and their maidservants.
