Most definitely: in the Old Testament, not just in Israel but in the other surrounding nations as well, it was commonplace for prisoners of war, conquered people, those who displeased the king, and for those who couldn't pay their debts to be made slaves. In the New Testament period it was so normal it didn't really rate a mention, as the Roman Empire had conquered most of the nations and completely subjugated them, and Rome was basically run by slaves. Slaves were enthusiastic followers of the Gospel message of true freedom, one of which was Onesimus mentioned in the epistle Paul wrote to his (Onesimus') owner Philemon.

In the Old Testament was it okay to have slaves?
Slavery was different to what we associate with the word in modern times. The Bible generally accepted slavery as it was in that day, but not if it was associated with the sinful aspects that sometimes went along with it or if it abused people. The Bible instructed on how to properly treat slaves. The Bible condemns slavery such as is common in modern times, which enslaves people based on race and sinful practices. Slavery in the Bible times was primarily for the relief of economic hardship and usually instigated by the slave themselves. It was not OK to have slaves in the sense in which we have slaves today and have had over the past few centuries.
