Matthew Poole and continuators on Proverbs 25:1

1 THese are also proverbs of Solomon, which the men of Hezekiah king of Judah copied out .

Which are contain'd in this and the following Chapters.

Certain▪ persons appointed by Hezekiah for that work, whether Prophets, as Isaiah, Hosea, or Micah, who lived in his days, or some others, it is neither evident nor material. Most of them are political Precepts, and such as in a special manner concerned Hezekiah, and other Princes, to know, for the conduct of their House and Kingdom.

Either out of other Books or Writings of Solomon, concerning natural or civil things, of which we read, 1 Kin. 4. 32. Or out of the historical Records which were then extant concerning Solomon's speeches and actions in the History of the Kings of Iudah, which is oft mentioned in holy Scripture.
