 The Bible states that David founded a dynasty and that his son Solomon built a Temple.Possible references to the House of David have been found at two sites, the Tel Dan Stele and the Mesha Stele.Yigael Yadin's excavations at Hazor, Megiddo, Beit Shean and Gezer uncovered structures that he and others have argued date from Solomon's reign, but others, such as Israel Finkelstein and Neil Silberman (who agree that Solomon was a historical king), argue that they should be dated to the Omride period, more than a century after Solomon.
