Lately it has become fashionable to question whether the Biblical accounts of a strong kingdom ruled by David and Solomon could have even existed in the 10 century BC (BCE).
Many scholars consider the accounts to be rather mythical in nature. Now a recent archaeological finding lends strong support to the Biblical record.
Eilat Mazar, from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, says of her find -an ancient wall:

“It means that at that time, the 10th century, in Jerusalem there was a regime capable of carrying out such construction.”
