Proverbs

The proverbs of Solomon.

A wise son makes a father glad,

But a foolish son is a grief to his mother.

These also are proverbs of Solomon which the men of Hezekiah, king of Judah, transcribed.

For he was wiser than all men, than Ethan the Ezrahite, Heman, Calcol and Darda, the sons of Mahol; and his fame was known in all the surrounding nations.

In addition to being a wise man, the Preacher also taught the people knowledge; and he pondered, searched out and arranged many proverbs.

“These things I have spoken to you in

figurative language; an hour is coming when I will no longer speak to you in figurative language, but will tell you plainly of the Father.

Solomon

Then David comforted his wife Bathsheba, and went in to her and lay with her; and she gave birth to a son, and

he named him Solomon. Now the Lord loved him

And Solomon sat on the throne of David his father, and his kingdom was firmly established.

Behold, a son will be born to you, who shall be a man of rest; and I will give him rest from all his enemies on every side; for his name shall be Solomon, and I will give peace and quiet to Israel in his days.

Of all my sons (for the Lord has given me many sons), He has chosen my son Solomon to sit on the throne of the kingdom of the Lord over Israel.

Then he died in a ripe old age, full of days, riches and honor; and his son Solomon reigned in his place.
