Was it King Shlomo or Chizkiyahu and his colleagues who wrote Shir Hashirim, Koheles and Mishlei?

When did Chizkiahu live?

    i assume you are referencing the gemara in bava batra which lists king hezekiah and his colleagues as the redactors of those books. redacting and authoring are two different things although similar. traditionally it is accepted that king solomon authored, or at least is the source, for most of the content in those books. the idea that hezekiah compiled them is strengthened by the book of proverbs itself in 25:1. the wisdom of king david can also be found in proverbs as well as that of a king lemuel although the latter is identified as solomon by traditional sources.
