AnswerThe legendary kingdom of David and Solomon is called Israel.

According to The Bible, David and Solomon greatly expanded the kingdom into coastal Canaan and what are now southern Syria and western Jordan. This was the view long held by biblical archaeologists, who accepted the biblical dates for the archaeological evidence they found. However, some modern archaeologists have determined that the brief expansion of Israel actually occurred much later, under King Ahab. Biblical scholars dispute the historicity of both David and Solomon, although there is some circumstantial evidence that there may have been a leader called David, or at least the people of Judah believed there had been.

Which of David's sons made himself King?

David's son Solomon succeeded him as king, but the Deuteronomic History and the Book of Chronicles are in almost complete dispute on the events leading up to the succession by Solomon. In neither case does Solomon appear to have played a direct role in having himself made king.Second Samuel set the scene for the succession, with family feuding over the succession, follwed in 1 Kings by an attempted coup by the older son Adonijah, who was in any event next in line for the succession. The senile and dying David, pressured and tricked by Somon's mother, Bath-sheba, then anointed Solomon to be his successor, to forestall any further coup attempts.The Book of Chronicles omits the lengthy diversions about the attempted coups. More particularly, while still in apparent good health and not yet bed-ridden, David announced to the people of Israel that Yahweh had chosen Solomon to be his heir.
