Scholars are divided on the size of the Israelite empire described in The Bible, with 'maximalist' and 'minimalist' views. The 'maximalist' view says that it would have included Damascus. Thus, Solomon's biblical empire could have included today's Israel, Palestinian Territories, the southern parts of Syria and and Lebanon, and west Jordan.

Modern archaeologists say otherwise - that there they can find no evidence of a great Israelite empire during the tenth century BCE. They say that in the tenth century, the Hebrew kingdoms occupied an area not much larger than the modern West Bank territory, and that the brief expansion of Israel only occurred during the time of the Omrite kings. In fact, scholars believe that, on the available evidence, Solomon probably did not really exist.
