The book of Proverbs consist of 31 chapters and contains over 900 proverbs.  These are a collection of the proverbs of Solomon, Agur, and King Lemuel.  Solomon was the son of King David and Bathsheba.  Solomon became king at the young age of twenty.  David called his son Solomon, which means peaceable, a very appropriate name.

In the wisdom books of the Bible, we have, as everywhere else in Scripture, the very breathing of the Spirit of God.  These are not human collections of wisdom and instruction, but are the very words of God.  There are five major divisions with the book of Proverbs.  The most logical division is as follows:

• Chapters 1-9:  Wisdom and folly contrasted.

• Chapters 10-24:  A collection of Proverbs written and set in order by Solomon

• Chapters 25-29:  Proverbs of Solomon, which the men of Hezekiah copied out.

• Chapter 30:  The burden, or oracle of an otherwise unknown sage named Agur.

• Chapter 31:  Instruction given to king Lemuel by his mother.

A proverb is a short sentence expressing in a few words a well known truth.  Proverbs were used because expressing truths in few words made them easier to remember.  As you read Proverbs, you will find the words of Solomon are as up-to-date as tomorrows newspaper.  The following outlines provide clear exposition of each chapter and are intended only to act as a spring board to the whole counsel of God's Word.  The only objective intended here, is to know God by the Word of God.  Proverbs is more than just learning about God,  it is learning from God.

Sincerely, Dr. Arthur Belanger
