In the Book of Proverbs in the Holy Bible, most of the divinely inspired Scriptures are attributed to King Solomon, the 3rd king to reign over all of the Israelites in the Promised Land. Solomon was the 2nd child born to King David and Bathsheba. David was the 2nd king to reign over all of the Israelites in the Promised Land, the land that the Lord God promised to give to Abraham (Abram the Hebrew), and to Abraham's son Isaac, and to Isaac's youngest fraternal twin son Jacob (Israel) and to their descendants. The Lord God gave Solomon a wise heart, and understanding, wisdom, knowledge, riches, wealth, and honor. Solomon was known to sing 1,005 songs, speak 3,000 proverbs and speak knowledgeably of nature. Rehoboam, the son born to Solomon and Naamah, was the 2nd king to reign over all of the Israelites. After Rehoboam gave a specific answer, the Israelites split into 2 kingdoms, according to the will of the Lord God, due to the idolatry and other wickedness of Solomon. Israel was the northern nation, Samaria was the final royal city and Jeroboam was the 1st king to reign. Judah was the nation in the south, Jerusalem was the royal city and Rehoboam was the 1st king to reign. Rehoboam's great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-grandson Hezekiah became the 12th king to rule Judah. During Hezekiah's reign, many of the proverbs spoken by Solomon were collected and copied. Over 600 years after Manasseh, the son born to Hezekiah and Hephzibah, became the 12th king to rule Judah, Jesus the Christ, the Son of God, was born. Jesus was conceived of the Holy Spirit in the womb of Mary, a virgin, and Jesus was born into the tribe of Judah, the birth tribe of David and his descendants, including all of Judah's kings, to Mary and her husband Joseph when Mary was a virgin.-Genesis 11:26-50:26, Exodus, Numbers 20:1-29, 27:12-23, Deuteronomy 31:1-30, 32:44-52, 34:1-12, Joshua 1:1-4:24, 23:1-24:33, Judges 1:1-2:23, 1 Samuel 1:1-3:21, 8:1-31:13, 2 Samuel, 1 Kings, 2 Kings, 1 Chronicles 1:1-34, 2:1-17, 3:1-24, 10:1-29:30, 2 Chronicles, Proverbs, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts 1:1-26
