To most Israelis it is axiomatic that the celebrations for the 3,000th anniversary of the conquest of Jerusalem by King David mark a real and tangible event; but this is far from certain. The biblical account of the capture of the city is the only one we have, and in the opinion of most modern scholars, The Bible is not an entirely reliable historical document. Corroborating evidence is required, and some indeed exists; but it is not conclusive. When all the available information has been assembled, the most that can be said is that there was probably an Israelite ruler called David, who made Jerusalem his capital sometime in the tenth century bce. However, the precise date cannot be determined, and consequently there is no way of knowing exactly when the anniversary falls.

Solomon's empire is a Hebrew folklore story with little firm basis - where are the remains of his many palaces which housed his thousand wives and concubines? The Hebrews were described by the Egyptians as brigands and herdsmen living in the Judean hills. David probably established a village on the Jerusalem site, and it was expanded by Solomon. Beyond that it is speculation and legend.
