Bible Commentary

Proverbs 25:1

This verse is a historical note establishing the provenance of Proverbs 25–29. King Hezekiah (a godly king of Judah) had scribes who preserved Solomon's wisdom. Wisdom is worth preserving — it doesn't just happen; people work to pass it on.

Memory phrase: Wisdom is worth saving.

Talk about it: Why is it important to write down and save wisdom?

Prayer: God, thank You for people who save Your wisdom.
