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).
