*Almost* certainly not.

This shows that both the "traditional" date (6Th century B.C.E.) and the "Iranist" date (10Th century B.C.E.) follow monotheistic Judaism, which began with Moses. King David is usually dated to about 10Th century B.C.E., and this follows Moses by about 400 years. A reasonable estimate of Mosaic (monotheistic) Judaism (based on archaeologically well-supported biblical accounts of the kings of Israel and Judah and also on the less-well supported biblical time line found in the book of Judges) is 14Th century B.C.E.
