I have to concur with psychoslice that regarding the OT documents as primarily historical is a misguided and disappointing approach.
The Old Testament is full of wonderful and awful things, but a precise historical account of Israel isn't one of them.

"One of the most important discoveries that relate to the time of the Exodus is the Merneptah stele which dates to about 1210 BC. Merneptah, the king of Egypt, ..."
"This would be the time of the judges.
The text also implies that Israel was as strong as the other cities mentioned, and not just a small tribe."
All of this was highlighted not too long ago in a PBS special.
