Proverbs 1:1, The proverbs of Solomon, son of David, king of Israel:

Means that it was written by Solomon, who was the son of King David. King David was the King of Israel. A proverb is a short wise/profound truth or saying that is in general use. The Bible book called 'Proverbs' is a collection of such saying written/compiled by Solomon. (See Proverbs 10:1; 25:1).

It appears that he authored most/many of them, but Solomon also tells us that some of the proverbs were from other sources. (See Proverbs 22:17; 30:1; 31:1; Ecclesiastes 12:9,10)
