Actually the Solomon story is a copy of Amenhotep iii. Look at the numbers and names in the A III story and you will find them in David and S.

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown, bible commentary states Solomon married Pharoh's daughter, so would have been very wealthy and of the same prestige.

Pharoahs never married their daughters off to anyone. There are many historians that will attest to this, by reading heiroglyphs.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pharaoh%27s_daughter_(wife_of_Solomon)
Some scholars believe this unique example was because this marriage in particular "demonstrates the wealth and power of the Hebrew monarchy, for Pharaoh's daughters did not ordinarily marry outside of their own family , and perhaps indicates the weakness of the Egyptian kingdom at this time
Notice this was a unique example. There are no other historical texts where this happened.

Solomon was a slave driver if he existed. He used forced labour and leeched off his people. Typical despot.

Im not sure of the exact reason, but i can give you some thigns that i know. Firstly the crown was inherited thru the female line. To keep the crown in the family the brothers thus married their sisters to take ownership.
Egyptian royal families often if not always married their siblings. The famous Cleopatra married her uncle and borthers. Check the stories of Egyptians Pharoahs and you will see this pattern repeated most if not all the time.
Smething similar existed in most royals until recently. For example most if not all of the royal families of Europe had Queen Victoria in their bloodline. Theres a famous photo of Czar Alexander and King George just before WW1, and they look pretty damn close which is of course expected. Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip are of course 3rd cousins.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_II_of_Spain
By the time of Charles's birth there were many generation of inbreeding within the Spanish royal house, to which is attributed his physical and mental disabilities. The practice of first cousins and uncle-niece marriages was common among 17th century European nobility, intended to preserve prosperous family's properties. Charles's own immediate pedigree was almost exclusively populated with close relative relationships: Charles's mother, Mariana of Austria, herself a Hapsburg, was a niece of Charles's father, Philip. Mariana was a daughter of Empress Maria Anna of Spain (1606–46) and Emperor Ferdinand III . Thus, Maria Anna was simultaneously his aunt and grandmother and Margaret of Austria , Maria Anna's mother, was both his grandmother and great-grandmother. The inbreeding was so widespread in his case that all of his eight great-grandparents were descendants of Joanna and Philip I of Castile . [8] This inbreeding had given many in the family hereditary weaknesses. That Habsburg generation was more prone to still-births than were peasants in Spanish villages. [2]

Read the text below or the book and you will notice parallels that can only mean one thing. The jews copied the story of AIII and pretended it was SOlomon. They loved to copy from their neighbours.
Interesting AIII also built the largest temple complex ever, Karnak, which still stands today. This is of course the inspiration for Solomons grand temple which of course cannot be found. KIng S can be found, the only problem is hes not Hebrew but Egyptian.
