Gill's Notes on the Bible
These [are] are also proverbs of Solomon,.... These that follow to the end of the book, as well as those which go before. Here begins a "third", some say a "fourth" part of this book. The Targum and Syriac version read,
"these are also the deep proverbs of Solomon;''
and the Arabic version adds,
"the exposition of which is difficult;''
which the men Hezekiah king of Judah copied out; out of the writings of Solomon; out of his three thousand proverbs, it, nay be; or out of the public records, which contained an account of his words and deeds. Who these men were is not certain; perhaps his ministers of state, Eliakim, Sheban, and Joah; or the prophets of his time, Isaiah, Micah, and Hosea: the Targum and Syriac version call them his "friends". Whoever they were, no doubt they were employed by Hezekiah; and which is recorded to his honour, that he was so careful to preserve such useful sayings, and annex them to those that were already collected and put together as above. This verse, it is likely, was written by one of the copiers. The proverbs begin in Proverbs 25:2.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible
CHAPTER XXV
A new series of Solomon's proverbs. God's glory in mysteries.
Observations concerning kings. Avoid contentions. Opportune
speech. The faithful ambassador. Delicacies to be sparingly
used. Avoid familiarity. Amusements not grateful to a
distressed mind. Do good to your enemies. The misery of
dwelling with a scold. The necessity of moderation and
self-government.
NOTES ON CHAP. XXV
Verse Proverbs 25:1. These are also proverbs of Solomon — In my old MS. Bible, this verse concludes the preceding chapter. It seems that the remaining part of this book contains proverbs which had been collected by the order of King Hezekiah, and were added to the preceding book as a sort of supplement, having been collected from traditionary sayings of Solomon. And as the men of Hezekiah may mean Isaiah, Shebna, and other inspired men, who lived in that time, we may consider them as of equal authority with the rest, else such men could not have united them to the sacred book. The chronological notes in the margin of this and the five following chapters denote the time when the proverbs contained in them were collected together in the reign of Hezekiah, about two hundred and seventy years after the death of Solomon.
