A:The biblical evidence shows Solomon not to have been a wise ruler, either before or after the gift of wisdom, but Jewish tradition has built up an image of Solomon as a great and wise ruler. The Jewish people needed a glorious past, with both great and wise rulers. Solomon became part of that past, and Psalms that show any evidence of wisdom have been attributed to him, as have the wisdom books of Proverbs and Ecclesiastes. However, scholars say that the Psalms are a literary genre unknown at the time attributed to Solomon, and that they were actually written over a period of more than two hundred years during and after the Babylonian Exile.

Many of the Psalms have certainly been attributed to King Solomon, but they were not his.
