Solomon was old before he fell to Idolatry; 1 Kings 11.4. and some years he must needs spend in building those Temples to his wives Idols, after which time he wrote this ⟨p. 47⟩Book, so that now he was become very old. And therefore Rehoboam could not be young when he wrote it; for he wrote it not long before his death, and at his death Rehoboam was 41 years old, 1 Kings 14.21.
