A widely accepted tradition is that King Solomon wrote the Book of Proverbs. However, biblical scholars say that the Book of Proverbs was actually compiled during and after the Babylonian Exile. Many of the proverbs in the book are from the period of the Exile, but some are from the monarchic period and quite a few are actually based on Egyptian proverbs.
