...no they can't find any historical evidence of David or Solomon....
We can correct your ignorance until we are all blue in the face and it will make not whit of difference, because you are entirely unwilling to look at facts, objective truths, historical evidence. Evidence like the Tel Dan Stele, the Mesha Stele, the Merneptah Stele, and the Kurkh Monolith. Evidence like the coins and bullae found at the Temple Mount and in the Sifting Project. Evidence like the Hebrew script Immer bullae which corresponds to
Jeremiah 20. Evidence like the "Freedom for Zion" coin from the Roman times and the First Revolt and the "Half-Shekel" coin (
Exodus 30). Evidence, already mentioned, such as the writings of Josephus. Evidence in the Tombs of the Patriarchs, and Rachel and Joseph, remembered and honored for thousands of years. Evidence of the existence of the Kotel itself.
It doesn't matter what we present to you (and by "you", I mean all those on this board who blindly and ignorantly post comments and threads rejecting Israel's -- the Jewish people's -- history), you will not accept it. No matter what we say, you will blindly -- intentionally, willfully blindly -- reject it or move the parameters of the discussion to a new realm in order to support your rejection of anything Jewish.

Until, once pressed for actual, objective criteria for what "counts", you disappear because you CAN'T answer that question without revealing that there is NO criteria for you other than, "as long as its not the Jews".
It doesn't matter what proofs we offer. It doesn't even matter that the proofs we offer are obvious and clearly visible in the world and obviously true and it is pointedly SILLY to argue against them.
