Modern archaeologists say 'no' - there is no evidence of a great Israelite empire during the tenth century BCE. They say 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.

However, The Bible tells of a great Israelite empire under Kings David and Solomon. Scholars are divided on the size of the empire described in the Bible, but the 'maximalist' view says that it would have included Damascus.
