According to The Bible, King David created a great empire by conquest, rather than by trade. Of course every prosperous empire will trade, and the Bible suggests this.

However, archaeologists say there was no great empire at the time attributed to David. They find evidence of scattered villages and two or three small cities, but nothing that suggests power or great prosperity. Even the conquest of Meggido, once assumed to have taken place in the time of David because this matched to biblical account, has been redated to the ninth century BCE.
