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).

What place did Proverbs hold in Israelite education?

The entire Tanakh (Hebrew Bible), not just Proverbs, was taught to children from the age of five and up. It was commonplace for ten-year-olds to know the entire Tanakh by heart - with commentary and cantillation. In particular, Proverbs has very many layers of meaning which imparted life-wisdom and Torah-attitudes.

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).

Is Tel Aviv mentioned in the Tanakh?

Tel Aviv is not explicitly mentioned in the Tanakh, which is the Hebrew Bible. The name Tel Aviv is a modern Hebrew name meaning "Hill of Spring," and it was given to the city of Tel Aviv in 1910. The closest mention in the Tanakh might be in the Book of Ezekiel, where there is a reference to a place called Tel Abib, which some scholars believe could be a similar location.
