In the Old Testament, from Genesis to Esther, you see the primary historic accounts that follow a chronological order for the most part. Job to Song of Solomon are more of your philosophic and poetic books but also contain some history. Isaiah to Malachi are mostly prophetic books but also contain history about the times of the prophets who wrote the books.

∙ 9y agoAccording to Religious Jews, everything from Genesis Chapter 11 to the final chapters of II Chronicles (except the Books of Proverbs, Psalms, Lamentations, Song of Solomon, and Job) catalog the history of the Jewish people.
According to Secular Historians, the history of the Jewish people can be found in the dig sites throughout Israel and Palestine, moreso than in The Bible.

∙ 9y agoThe following books have large portions of history: Genesis, Exodus, Numbers, Joshua, Judges, Samuel (1 and 2), Kings (1 and 2), Jonah, Ruth, Esther, Daniel, Ezra & Nehemiah, and Chronicles (1 and 2). The history is either that of the Israelites, or that of other nations in the context of their relation to (or relations with) the Israelites. The rest of the Hebrew Bible has history interwoven or alluded to, but in the above books it is most easily identified.
