Proverbs 1:1 - The proverbs of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel;
Solomon is credited for writing the Proverbs—with the possibility of a few exceptions (i.e. chapter 30 and 31). It is written in the First Book of the Kings that he spoke three thousand proverbs. In addition to the Proverbs, Solomon is said to be the preacher that wrote the Book of Ecclesiastes (not to mention that the same verse calls him the son of David and king of Jerusalem). To tie the two books together, the preacher of Ecclesiastes set in order many proverbs. This gives a good basis to assume that Solomon is the author of the Proverbs.
