The stele only contains a name that can be interpreted as david but has other readings, like the name of a possible ancient village. Researchers are not confident that it proves anything. A vast kingdom in Israel would certainly leave more than a few disputable fragments. Check the situation of neighboring countries, where it was never an issue to find archeological evidence of several dynasties. There is a reason why it is so difficult to find these things in Israel: they just didn't exist.
