"Throughout the years they got many names such as Hebrews and Jews."
Incorrect. Israel (formerly Jacob) had 12 sons, one of whom was Judah. It is his descendents only that are called Jews. This began when the tribe of Judah separated itself from the rest of the nation of Israel after the reign of Solomon.
Answer:Formerly, we were called Hebrews and then Israelites, which included all the descendants of Jacob (see the above answer). The name Jews (descendants of Judah, son of Jacob) first occurs in the book of 2 Kings (16:6 and 25:25), Jeremiah (chapters 32, 38, 40, 41 and 44), Esther (3:6 and elsewhere), and Nehemiah (1:2 and elsewhere). Chronologically, 2 Kings 16:6 is the earliest of those references.
