The internal evidence cited from “Ecclesiastes” to support
Solomon’s authorship agrees with his perspective as a ruler and a father. The
first evidence is the name he gives himself in the book – Qoheleth, which means
“Preacher”. The “Ecclesiastes” is the book of wisdom which
represents Solomon’s “last words” on the subject of kingship and assembly to
determine the next king (Ecclesiastes 1:1, 2 12; 7:27; 12:8-10). The second
evidence is the problem of succession because Solomon doubts David’s wisdom.
This concern of succession accords with the story of foolish Rehoboam in Bible
(Ecclesiastes 2:18-21). And the third evidence reflects ironic references to
the division of Israel and Solomon’s greatness was being consigned to the
oblivion that he feared. This refers to the prophecy of the reign of Jeroboam
whose name was byword for sin. The kings
of divided kingdom of Israel “followed
in the sin of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel sin” and were consigned
to the oblivion(Ecclesiastes 4:13-16).
"Surrogate wars" also known as "proxy wars" are wars fought in a third country. The US and the Soviet Union were fighting each other in, for example, Afghanistan and Vietnam.
They preferred proxy wars, because they came without civilian victims of own population and without a distraction of the infrastructure of their own countries. In short, the two powers could compete militarily with each other without suffering the worst effects of the wars - this situation allowed them to try to defeat the other one without much risk to their own population.
