The writing identifies the author as 'the son of David', indicating Solomon as the writer.

The authorship of Ecclesiastes is attributed to Solomon in chapter 1, where he refers to himself as 'the son of David, king in Jerusalem'. Despite scholarly debate, the contextual clues and historical tradition affirm Solomon's authorship. This connection is crucial, as it lends authority to the reflections on the meaning of life, human folly, and the pursuit of wisdom, ultimately steering the reader towards the necessity of God in finding purpose.
