Are there any events in the bible that have been confirmed to be historically accurate?

Yes, though it's not exactly 100% indisputable fact as with anything in the ancient world. The Siege of Jerusalem by the Neo-Assyrian empire is described in the Old Testament. The non-biblical evidence for it was found on clay prisms inscribed with details of the siege, though it differs from the Bible as King Sennacherib claims victory in his carvings while the OT claims God sent an angel to destroy the besieging forces. Sennacherib's Annals

Another event described in the Bible is the Babylonian Exile, a mass deportation of the people of Judah from their kingdom to the city of Babylon, by the hand of Nebuchadnezzar. Some of the non-biblical evidence here would be the Lacish letters and the Babylonian Chronicles

I'm not an expert, just remembered those two off the top of my head. I have a slightly related question to the topic if it's OK to ask:

Ate the Hittites of the Bible the same as or related to the Hittites of Anatolia? If the biblical Hittites were known of longer, were the Anatolian Hittites named after them?
