Wisdom or the Wisdom of Solomon is one of the deuterocanonical books of the Bible. It is also the eponymous volume of the four Sapiential books of the Old Testament, which further include Proverbs, Ecclesiastes and Ecclesiasticus, also known as Jesus Sirach after its author
There are no surviving copies of the text in Hebrew. Although the author claims to be Solomon, many scholars believe that its language and ideas are of Greek origin and therefore the author is an Alexandrian Jew. It is the most classical Greek in the Septuagint. It is usually dated to the 1st or 2nd century BC. The author of the text, often referred to as Pseudo-Solomon, is noted by scholars as well versed in the popular philosophical, religious and ethical writings of Hellenistic Alexandria.

Although it is purported to have the same author as Ecclesiastes the beliefs on afterlife are significantly different. Chapter 2 in particular seems to be in direct response to Ecclesiastes: “For they said within themselves, reasoning not aright, Short and sorrowful is our life; And there is no remedy when a man cometh to his end”
The author represents himself as the son of David, and king over Israel in Jerusalem
