The answer
The officials of King Hezekiah of Judah. Proverbs 25:1 reads: "These are other proverbs of Solomon that the officials of King Hezekiah of Judah copied." Hezekiah's reign fell about two centuries after Solomon's.
Why it’s interesting
Hezekiah reigned in the late 700s BC and is remembered for religious reform. Proverbs is a set of collections, and Solomon's name stands over three of them (Proverbs 1:1, 10:1 and 25:1).
