AnswerThe Bible tells us that the Israelites were at all times polytheistic, until the destruction of Israel in 722 BCE. The people of Judah adopted monotheistic Judaism during the seventh-century-BCE reign of King Josiah. At this stage it was limited to the city of Jerusalem and its immediate surrounds, still under the control of the king of Judah. The Jews have ever since practised monotheism wherever they were to be found.

Who first taught the Israelites to practice monotheism?

Abraham is conventionally considered the father of monotheism, but there were no Israelites in Abraham's time. Abraham's grandson, Jacob was given the name Israel after he wrestled with someone (his brother? an angel? God?) at the ford of Jabbok. His children were literally the Children of Israel, and the 12 tribes descending from him are collectively referred to as Israelites. Reading this question narrowly, Jacob was the first to teach his children monotheism, something he learned from his father who learned it from Abraham.
