You mean, other than the Old Testament?

Amazon.com: The Bible as History (9780553279436): Werner Keller: Books
A Biblical History of Israel - Iain William Provan, V. Philips Long, Tremper Longman - Google Books
The Carta Jerusalem Atlas by Dan Bahat

Those should give you a good start.

this isn't a book but go to torahclass.com and click on old testament studies. Once you choose an old testament book then click on illustrations.

Not true! The Bible as History by Werner Keller is an excellent book and well accepted by many scholars as is A Biblical History of Israel. Of course the Old Testament is the best source followed by what you can glean from Josephus Antiquities...hope this helps.
