	The authorship of Proverbs has long been a matter of dispute. Solomon’s name appears in [[Proverbs 1:1]], "The proverbs of Solomon the son of [[David]], King of Israel." There are also references within Proverbs to [[Agur]] ([[Proverbs 30:1\|30:1]]) and [[Lemuel (Biblical king)\|Lemuel]] ([[Proverbs 31:1\|31:1]]) as authors distinct from Solomon. These names are missing in the Greek translation of the [[Septuagint]]. Medieval scholars used in the [[Vulgate]] the Hebrew rendering of these two verses, and in their eyes the words "Agur" and "Lemuel" were but symbolical names of Solomon.<sup>[]</sup> Solomon is often mentioned as someone who has extensive [[wisdom]] in the Bible as well as in extra-biblical literature. In [[1 Kings]] [[[[Proverbs 4:32\|4:32]], 3000 proverbs and over 1000 songs are said to have come from Solomon and it is also said that people came from all over to hear the wisdom of Solomon. Not only are the names "Agur" and "Lemuel" linked to other sections of the book, there are elements of disunity within the book that suggest more than one author.

	Some of the authorship is attributed to "Men of [[Hezekiah]]" ([[Hezekiah 25:1\|25:1]]), though it is stated that they simply transcribed the proverbs rather than writing them of their own accord.
