The book also includes several of King Lemuel and Argur’s writings as well. King Solomon’s new book is named the Book of Proverbs. According to dictionary.com

Perhaps because Solomon is human‚ and is young‚ and has just had a crown thrust

The two halves of John 12 have a very different tone‚ as Jesus moves from the private eye into the public sphere. Lazarus and his two sisters remain in the narrative as well. One major theme that can be noted in this particular Chapter is the hostility that those who are associated with Jesus face simply for having experienced the benefits of his way.
