If not "invention" certainly the embellishment by the addition of a fictional empire for them to emulate with great kings.

Are you familiar with Philip R. Davies "The Search For Ancient Israel?"

"If not invention then ..." All of the "thens" are attempts by believers to salvage the bible stories.

I am not familiar with Davies but I found http://books.google.com/books?id=5D5GNju...&q&f=false this. A scan so far indicates he touches on many of the same points I make but is incredibly wordy about it.
