Considering Proverbs was almost ommited entirely for the often scattered & contradictory nature of the collection,what one would expect from so many busy little cobbling scribes so many centuries later. There is no controversy what so ever, the Hebrews were copying everyone else around them as fast as they could. But this would only have been possible post Babylon when they actually could write things down finally in some kind of organized way.
Or, we would have found many many steles, carved stones, painted tiles, pottery, jewelry, even cave walls with some kind of writing dating back to those 'imaginary' times? Still waiting for one wagon wheel or spear head from merry old Solomon or David's kingdoms? There are none, zero, nada, zilch--->fantasy propagandas of post Babylon religious emergent patriarchal priest/king rule.
