Just a note: academic biblical scholars (theists and atheists alike) make strong arguments that the author is NOT Solomon. The biggest issue is the complicated Hebrew used, much more complicated than earlier writings. "The presence of Persian loan-words and Aramaisms points to a date no earlier than about 450 BCE" Even bible.org admits: "To accept Solomonic authorship presently puts you in the camp of very few scholars." Also, there is an argument that the ending was added by a later scribe (perhaps to make the text more acceptable for inclusion in the OT) because the ending goes completely against the rest of the Ecclesiastes. PS I am not an academic scholar but have read a number of academic books on Ecclesiastes as it is my favorite. https://www.reddit.com/r/AcademicBiblical/comments/6flp42/was_solomon_the_author_of_ecclesiastes/?st=jc88een8&sh=d5ef57a0 https://www.reddit.com/r/AcademicBiblical/comments/6flp42/wa...
