Proverbs 25:2

"These also are proverbs of Solomon, which the men of Hezekiah king of Judah copied out."

Key Reflection

This statement indicates that King Hezekiah and his scribes were preserving and copying the wisdom of King Solomon, suggesting a continuation of Solomon's legacy of wisdom literature even after his time. It highlights the reverence for Solomon’s teachings and their enduring value in the eyes of subsequent kings and scholars.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

The earthly monarch might be, in some respects, the type of the heavenly, but here there is a marked contrast. The king presses further and further into all knowledge; God surrounds Himself as in “thick darkness,” and there are secrets unrevealed even after the fullest revelation.
