These are the proverbs of Solomon. He was the son of David and the king of Israel.

How happy your people must be! How happy your officials must be! They always get to serve you and hear the wise things you say.

These are more proverbs of Solomon. They were gathered together by the men of Hezekiah, the king of Judah.

Then Solomon said,“ Lord, you have said you would live in a dark cloud.As you can see, I’ve built a beautiful temple for you. You can live in it forever.”The whole community of Israel was standing there. The king turned around and gave them his blessing.Then he said,“ I praise the Lord. He is the God of Israel. With his own mouth he made a promise to my father David. With his own powerful hand he made it come true. He said,‘ I brought my people Israel out of Egypt. Ever since, I haven’t chosen a city in any tribe of Israel where a temple could be built for my Name. But I have chosen David to rule over my people Israel.’“ With all his heart my father David wanted to build a temple. He wanted to do it so the Lord could put his Name there. The Lord is the God of Israel.But the Lord spoke to my father David. He said,‘ With all your heart you wanted to build a temple for my Name. It is good that you wanted to do that.But you will not build the temple. Instead, your son will build the temple for my Name. He is your own flesh and blood.’“ The Lord has kept the promise he made. I’ve become the next king after my father David. Now I’m sitting on the throne of Israel. That’s exactly what the Lord promised would happen. I’ve built the temple where the Lord will put his Name. He is the God of Israel.I’ve provided a place for the ark there. The tablets of the Lord’ s covenant law are inside it. He made that covenant with our people of long ago. He made it when he brought them out of Egypt.”

These are the proverbs of Solomon. A wise son makes his father glad. But a foolish son brings sorrow to his mother.
