• Certain unnamed scribes, called in the Septuagint, “the friends of Hezekiah,” rescued from oblivion the maxims which form the five next chapters. We know from 1 Kings 4:32 that the wise king “spake three thousand proverbs: and his songs were a thousand and five.” Of the latter we know little. We have the Song of Songs, the dirge of Ecclesiastes; and it seems likely that Psalm 127 and perhaps others were from his pen. The rest of his songs God has not seen fit to preserve. In the book of Proverbs we have already had before us over four hundred sayings which he collated and handed down to future generations. (“Proverbs Twenty-Five” by H.A. Ironside)
