The Israelite King Solomon wrote 2 books of the Bible - Proverbs and Ecclesiastes - and 2 of the Psalms (#72 & #127).

But the Bible says that for much of his life, Solomon was apostate. He isn't reckoned among the good king, but the bad ones. Proverbs is written by Solomon during a period where he is chasing foreign gods... and women. Ecclesiastes is written by an elderly Solomon, a retrospective looking back on his celebrated wisdom where he discounts it all as being vanity (aka useless) next to the true wisdom found by fearing God and following His commands.

So with that in mind... should Proverbs and Ecclesiastes be considered SUS?
