I don't know how the Egyptians and Mesopotamians viewed history, so I won't speak for them.

The Israelite view is that God has placed before us three books of wisdom. The most important is the Torah. The other two "books" are: the created world, including the stars and planets, plants, animals, and ourselves; and the events of history. History is seen by the religious Jew as a book of Divine lessons.

The main difference is that there were no such things as "Hebrew Historians". Jews were not interested in recording the details of history until the Common Era (after the Romans).
