They don't directly reference David or Solomon, but do provide evidence of government activity during that period
It's amazing what extra's theist read into discoveries.

- Experts say they offer evidence of biblical kings David and Solomon
I refer back to your earlier quote:

It's not 'thiests' that are making the connection to David and Solomon, it's the experts, whom by your own admission you believe without question.
And the same article also says
However, many experts dismiss the rulers as mythological figures and claim no kingdom ever existed
and the article does go on to make much more modest claims denying any reference to David or Solomon directly these are evidence of governance, (and that in a tiny place) nothing else.
That is likely why being an leading, respected and well know figure in biblical archaeology she dismissed these rather fanciful claims.
