In The Bible, "Jews" is first found in II Kings 16, where Israel is allied with Syria against them.
"Then Rezin king of Syria and Pekah son of Remaliah king of Israel came up to Jerusalem to war: and they besieged Ahaz [the Jewish king], but could not overcome him. At that time Rezin king of Syria recovered Elath to Syria, and drave [drove] the JEWS from Elath..." (II Kings 16:5-6).

The entire Tanakh (Hebrew Bible), not just Proverbs, was taught to children from the age of five and up.

How many kids did Samson in the Bible have?
none That is not true. One of the Midrashim - which is the Hebrew commentary on the Hebrew bible - says that Samson (and Delilah) did indeed have children and that they lived elsewhere in the land of Israel, in a place where gold was: Havilah. So, the Bible doesn't really mention children perhaps, but commentators to the Bible, who studied the Bible in the years after the second destruction of the Hebrew Temple, interpreted the story with children to Samson and Delilah. I guess those children were half Jewish (or Hebrew) and half non-Jewish(Philistines).
