Proverbs : 1 : 1

Proverbs chapter 1 gives a clear explanation of the purpose of this book. The author of this book, Solomon's lineage and to whom he is writing are clearly stated. This is a book full of warnings against sin. It is written with the intention that her son should act wisely and prudently.

 The Proverbs Of Solomon Son Of David, King Of Israel:

This verse tells us who wrote Proverbs. Proverbs was written by Solomon, the second son of David and Bathsheba, kings of Israel. Both David and Solomon ruled Israel separately for 40 years.

When Solomon became king of Israel, he sought wisdom and knowledge from the Lord. It brought him wealth, respect, and fame.

Solomon, who excelled in wisdom, failed to use it in his life. Although his son Rehoboam received all the counsel, he failed to use it wisely. He rejected the teachings of his father.
