Thank you!

So David was a threat because of the consent he riceived from the tribes and not because of his marriage? And he was not a real threat to Jonathan neither because the succession wasn't clearly dynastic?

And I'm also looking about a way to describe realistically the buildings of the time. For example... did Saul live with his family/servants and his warriors in some sort of court?

(I'd love to read your rewriting of Solomon's reign/era)

Actually, the Bible's pretty much the best resource on this area - but you'd probably need a very good Bible with lots of scholarly footnotes and a translation that takes care to keep it historically accurate rather than allowing modernizations to slip in. It's a written product of ancient Israel, so it has most of our information about it. Archaeology helps, but it's a sidenote. So if it's a fairly small story, you'd probably be okay with just basing it off what you pick up from looking at the culture in the Bible.

Other than that, here's some books that you might want to look into if it's a larger story:
Ancient Israel: Its Life and Institutions
Life in Biblical Israel
The Hebrew Bible: A Socio-Literary Introduction with CD-ROM

Unfortnately I have only a little Italian Bible translated by the CEI and it is much more interested in 'religious beliefs' than 'historical accuracy'.
Thank you for the titles : D the second one it's particolar interesting. I don't know if I'll manage to buy them soon but I'll add them in my list of foreign books <3

If you google "Bible in Italian" there seem to be a lot of hits, perhaps an online one will be better?
