The traditional Jewish view is that Abraham was the first to recognize one God who was the one creator. This monotheistic belief was passed on to his desendents and the view clearly expressed in the first and second of the ten commandments and throughout the Torah. While there were times in the Jewish history when the people digressed away from the belief, they were clearly admonished by all the Jewish prophets, such as Elijah, Isaiah, Jeramiah, etc. for turning away from God to other Gods and Polytheistic views. King Josiah tried to bring the people back to this viewpoint, but in the end the people failed in full return to God. Ultimately, according to Jewish tradition, this was one of the primary reasons why the Jewish people were exiled, first the kingdom of Israel, and then the kingdom of Judah. Finally, the Jewish temple was destroyed.
