Acknowledgement

Today,

I am thankful for another great day that the Lord has made. The Lord everyday provides us with His Mercy, Grace and Compassion, knocking at the doors of our hearts; need to let Him in, to sup with us. Bible says, The Lord is compassionate, gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in Love, Psalm 103:8. What a beautiful and loving God we serve.

Greg’s service to this book, was so informative and knowledgeable, a sounding board and coach that allowed me to work through the rough spots along the way.

He made this all possible!

All for His Glory!

Famous Quote

The most excellent and divine counsel, the best and most profitable advertisement of all others, but the least practiced, is to study and learn how to know ourselves. This is the foundation of wisdom and the highway to whatever is good…. God, nature, the wise, the world, preacher man, exhort him both by word and deed to the study of himself. – Pierre Charron

King Solomon

Legacy

As a young man, he had a consuming passion for Knowledge and Wisdom (1 Kings 3:9-12). He became the literary prodigy of the world of his day. His intellectual attainments were the wonder of the age. Kings came from the ends of the earth to hear him. He lectured on Botany and Zoology. He was a Scientist, a Political Ruler, and a Business Man with Vast Enterprises, a Poet, Moralist, and Preacher. (1 Kings: 4, 9). (Haley’s Bible Handbook)

Accomplishments

Solomon, 970?-930 B.C., was second son of David and Bath-seba and third king of Israel. Solomon was attributed to writing the Old Testament’s books such as Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, Ecclesiastics, Song of Solomon, and the Wisdom of Solomon included in the Apocrypha or second Canon. Wisdom of Solomon also called the Book of Wisdom; traditionally, contains exhortations to seek wisdom, passages on immortality, and a history of God’s care of the Jews. All of these books were of Wisdom literature, a critical term for Jewish philosophical writings, of the pre-Christian era. (The Universal Illustrated Encyclopedia) (The Columbia Viking Desk Encyclopedia)

Book of Proverbs

Like Psalms and Pentateuch, this book is divided, according to its Titles, into Parts: Proverbs of Solomon (Chapters 1-9); Proverbs of Solomon (Chapters 10-24); Proverbs of Solomon, which men of Hezekiah copied (Chapters 25-29); Words of Agur (Chapter 30); Words of Lemuel (Chapter 31). Thus, most of the Proverbs are ascribed to Solomon. Solomon seems to have borne about the same relation to Proverbs that David did to Psalms. Each was the principle Writer. Psalms is a book of Devotion. Proverbs, a Book of Practical Ethics. (Haley’s Bible Handbook).

A Proverb

A Short, Pithy, Axiomatic Saying, is the life of which is Antithesis, or Comparison. They are wholly Unconnected. Designed primarily for the young: a form of Teaching: repetition of Practical Thoughts in form that would stick in mind. (Haley’s Bible Handbook)

Subjects

Wisdom. Righteousness. Fear of God. Knowledge. Morality. Chastity. Diligence. Self-Control. Trust in God. Titles. Proper Use of Riches. Considerateness of the Poor. Contol of Tongue. Kindness to Enemies. Choice of Companions. Training of Childern. Industry. Honesty. Idleness. Laziness. Justice. Helpfulness. Cheerfulness. Common Sense. (Haley’s Bible Handbook)

Technique of Treatment

This Book aims to inculcate Virtues that are insisted upon throughout the Bible. Over and over, in all the Bible, in multiform ways, and by diverse methods, God has supplied to man a great abundance of Instruction, line upon line, precept upon precept, here a little and there a little, as to How He Wants Men To Live, so that there be no excuse for our missing the mark. The Teachings of this book of Proverbs are not expressed in a Thus Saith The Lord. as in the Law of Moses, where the Same Things are taught as a Direct Command of God; but rather are given as coming out of
