Tadmor is mentioned in the Hebrew Bible (Second Book of Chronicles 8.4) as a desert city that is fortified by Solomon.
This is traditionally read (see Qere) as Tadmor, but may refer to place near the Dead Sea.

Certainly Tadmor is in a key location for controlling the trade route between Damascus and Mesopotamia, and ought to have some ruins- but nothing has been found predating the Hellenistic city which arose sometime in the 1st century BCE.
Tadmor's rise to fame as a "caravan trade city" was in the 1st century BCE when the earliest ruins appear.  This archaeological anomaly suggests that the Chronicles had to have been composed not earlier than the 1st century BCE.
Until future archaeological work establishes an earlier history for Tadmor, the present evidence suggests the city was created not earlier than the 1st century BCE (a 2d century BC tomb is not proof of a city's existence), and rose to fame as a caravan city in the same century.
