That's okay, just sharing a thought. I saw your last post in the Christian forum, so, here, thank you for your self-control.
One thought I had as on Solomon -- in the proverbs wisdom literature, it sets out to address teaching right living. I am not recalling though if in Proverbs there is ever any encouragement or exortation to do right by the priests, observe the rituals, administer the sacrifices and tithes, etc. Because it is in the sacred texts as a book nestled among such books as Psalms (which is very rich with religious priestly references) we forgive it not mentioning religion, but as it was likely written as a stand-alone, why is it not mentioned? Likewise in chronicles and kings there is no mention of Solomon founding torah schools, David constructing synagogues, or the like (apart from the temple which is no small matter). I understand in the rabbinical literature (Talmud?) there is mention of such.
