Compare all
30 Thus Solomon’s wisdom excelled the wisdom of all the men aof the East and all bthe wisdom of Egypt.  
31 For he was awiser than all men—bthan Ethan the Ezrahite, cand Heman, Chalcol, and Darda, the sons of Mahol; and his fame was in all the surrounding nations.  
32 aHe spoke three thousand proverbs, and his bsongs were one thousand and five.  
33 Also he spoke of trees, from the cedar tree of Lebanon even to the hyssop that springs out of the wall; he spoke also of animals, of birds, of creeping things, and of fish.
34 And men of all nations, from all the kings of the earth who had heard of his wisdom, acame to hear the wisdom of Solomon.

1 Kings 4:32

Proverbs - In the collection which forms the "Book of Proverbs," only a small portion has been preserved, less certainly than one thousand out of the three. Ecclesiastes, if it is Solomon' s, would add between one hundred and two hundred more proverbs. But the great bulk of Solomon' s proverbs has perished.

Songs - Of these, Canticles is probably one (marginal reference): Ps. 72; Psalms 127:1-5 may also be of the number. Probably the bulk of Solomon' s songs were of a secular character, and consequently were not introduced into the canon of Scripture.
