Proverbs 25:1-27

PROVERBS—NOTE ON Proverbs 25:1 Hezekiah’s Collection of Solomonic Proverbs 1:1. The present form of the book of Proverbs 1:1 came into existence, at earliest, in the reign of Hezekiah (reigned 715–686 B.C.; see Introduction: Author and Date). Hezekiah is credited with reviving Judah’s religious traditions (2 Kings 18:3). A new, expanded edition of Solomonic proverbs was apparently part of that revival.
