I just republished this chapter on my stack, and included the following note:

"There appears to be only one outside confirmation of the existence of a kingdom “of the house of David” and no details on this apart from the biblical narrative.

See Dr. Bart Ehrman article. https://ehrmanblog.org/did-king-david-actually-exist/

It seems quite possible that the biblical stories of the Old Testament were invented, though possibly in part based on oral legends.

Meanwhile, the existence of a messianic movement during and prior to the 1st and 2nd centuries, including the followers of Jesus in Galilee, is credibly documented by the Jewish historian Josephus and confirmed by the Dead Sea Scrolls. This raises the question of whether the legendary activities of David “hiding in caves” and conducting subversive operations contrary to officialdom could have been inspired at a later time, such as during Babylonian exile of Judaic tribes or the tumultuous period just preceding the New Testament era."
