In the Bible, I Kings 4:32, it says that King Solomon wrote 3,000 proverbs. I know that a good percentage are in the book of Proverbs. Where are the rest? Thank you. |

This may be of interest to you: "Works attributed to Solomon have existed in different ages, from his time till the present. Eusebius states that Hezekiah, finding the Jews putting too much confidence in the books of Solomon, relative to cures and different occult arts, ordered them to be suppressed. Josephus positively says that Solomon did compose books of charms to cure diseases, and conjurations to expel demons, Antiq., lib. viii., cap. 2. He states farther, that a Jew named Eliezar cured several demoniacs in the presence of Vespasian, by reciting the charms which had been invented by Solomon. R. D. Kimchi speaks of a book of Solomon entitled The Cure of Diseases, which Genebrard supposes to be the same work of which Josephus speaks. And Origen speaks of conjurations which were used by the Jews in his time, and which they professed to derive from the books of Solomon. There are still extant books of this kind attributed to Solomon, such as The Enchantments, The Clavicle, The Ring, The Hygromantia, The New Moons, and The Shadows of Ideas; but these, as they now stand, are the inventions of quacks and impostors, and entitled to no regard. If there were any books containing the wisdom of Solomon, they are either irrecoverably lost, or exist in mutilated fragments among the Asiatic sages; and are disfigured by being connected with improbable tales, and pretended mantras or charms." http://www.godrules.net/library/clarke/clarke1kin11.htm |

TO GIVE A PROPER ANSWER TO THIS INTERESTING QUESTION, IT IS NECESSARY TO UNDERSTAND THAT THE WHOLE BIBLE IS INSPIRED OF GOD. EVERY ONE OF THE FORTY WRITERS OF THE VARIOUS BOOKS IN THE BIBLE WERE INSPIRED TO WRITE WHAT THEY DID. IF YOU STUDY THE WHOLE BIBLE FROM GENESIS TO REVELATION, YOU WILL DISCOVER ITS THEME.. THE COMING OF GOD`S "KINGDOM", THE SAME KINGDOM THAT JESUS MENTIONS IN THE "LORDS PRAYER" AT MATTHEW 6; 9,10. THE BOOK OF PROVERBS IS ONLY A SMALL SELECTION THAT SOLOMON KNEW. THESE ARE GIVEN AS A SAMPLE OF SOLOMONS WISDOM. IN 1 KINGS 3;5, THE BIBLE STATES THAT JEHOVAH GOD APPEARED TO SOLOMON AND SAID " REQUEST WHAT I SHOULD GIVE YOU". VERSES 6 TO 9 SAY THAT SOLOMON REQUESTED KNOWLEDGE AND WISDOM. JEHOVAH GOD GRANTED HIM THESE AND ALSO AS STATED AT VBERSE 13, JEHOVAH GOD GAVE HIM RICHES AND GLORY,AND A LONG LIFE, SIMPLY BECAUSE SOLOMON HAD NOT ASKED FOR THESE. IF YOU WONDER WHERE THE NAME JEHOVAH COMES FROM, LOOK UP PSALM 83;18. IF YOU FINF IT HAS BEEN SUBSTITUTED WITH THE TITLE "LORD", THE FRONT PAGE OF YOUR BIBLE WILL EXPLAIN THE TETRAGRAMMATON. HEBREW Y.H.W.H. OR YAHWEH... GOD`S PERSONAL NAME... LORD IS HIS TITLE. THE WHOLE BIBLE IS A GUIDE TO A GOOD LIFE WHERE JEHOVAH GOD COMES FIRST.. ECCLESIASTES 12;13 SAYS...THE CONCLUSION OF THE MATTER, EVERYTHING HAVING BEEN HEARD IS, FEAR THE TRUE GOD AND KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS, FOR THIS IS THE WHOLE OBLIGATION OF MAN. |
