Song of Songs


Really? What verse?

Chapter 1 verse 1: LI$:LOMOH, commonly understood as "by Solomon", although I suppose it could mean "for Solomon".


and Qohelet


And who is this person?


Chapter 1 verse 1: QOHELET B.EN-D.FWID, and then verse 12 HFYIYTIY MELEK: etc. Only one son of David was king of Israel, that is Solomon. This is surely some kind of authorship claim, whether you believe it to be true or not.
