The religion of the ancient Israelites was monotheistic. The Bible in Deuteronomy 6:4 states: "Hear, O Israel: Jehovah our God is one Jehovah."
About Islam: A QurʼÄnic commentary states: "The People of the Book went wrong: The Jews in breaking their Covenant, and slandering Mary and Jesus . . . and the Christians in raising Jesus the Apostle to equality with God" by means of the Trinity doctrine.-Surah 4:153-176, AYA
-- Islam is monotheistic.
But even before the Israelites and Islam; Abraham, Noah, believed in the same God as the Israelites. I just don't think there was such a word as 'religion' back then to differentiate between various beliefs. (ie We don't know by what 'name', Abraham's, and Noah's 'religion' was called.)
I would think that anyone in ancient history who worshipped Jehovah, they were monotheistic.

King Josiah ( c. 640-609 BCE) re-instituted religious reform and, in his reign, a monotheistic religion seems to have finally become dominant among the Jews. So, the earliest real evidence of a monotheistic religion in Israel and Judah is during the reign of King Hezekiah.EgyptAncient Egyptians worship was a form of syncretistic polytheism, except briefly during the reign of Pharaoh Akhenaten , who became an uncompromising monotheist in the 14th century BCE.
