I presume you are asking about the Hebrew Bible (sometimes calmed the Old Testament) rather than the Christian Bible (the New Testament).

The bible itself claims to describe events from the beginning of time - the creation, the garden of Eden, Adam and Eve are said to be about 5780 years ago.

However, there is no archaeological or external (outside of the Bible) textual evidence for anything prior to 9th century as being real history. Genesis, Noah’s ark, the exodus have no basis in historical reality.

The people mentioned in the bible, such as the Egyptians, the Assyrian, Babylon and so on did exist and there is clearly evidence for their existence, but up until 9th century BCE there is little archeological or external evidence of their interaction with the people of Israel and Judah.

King David of Israel reign is said to be from 1010–970 BCE. Up until 1993 there was no evidence to King David existed. However in 1993 a strike was found in Tel Dan which mentioned The house of King David. The Tel Dan Stele is a small engraving detailing the defeat of Israel at the hands of Syrians. Scholars were stunned when they noted that one of the lines of text read as the “House of David.” This was the first extra-biblical reference to King David and the fact that he had a house: meaning that there was a family lineage descending from him.

However, scholars have also noted that whilst the Dan Stele corroborates the existence of King David it is very likely that David and Solomon did exist but they were not as wealthy, powerful or significant as the Bible describes: They were probably small-time tribal elders who had a small settlement on the hill of Jerusalem.

There is archeological and external evidence for a kingdom of Israel and a kingdom of Judah from 9th century onwards. However, unlike the tales in the bible of a great empire, archeology shows that in the time of Solomon, the northern kingdom of Israel was quite small, too poor to be able to pay for a vast army, and with too little bureaucracy to be able to administer a kingdom, certainly not an empire.

There is external further evidence of King Omri who ruled from 884 BCE. According to the bible he was the 6th king of israel.

By 701 BCE, the Assyrians had captured most of Judah. The Bible's coverage of the events leading up to the siege is sparse, briefly listing only a few refortifications of Jerusalem, giving a passing mention to the Siloam Tunnel, and briefly admitting to the loss of most of Judah's cities, but archaeology gives much more detail.

The Babylonians plundered Jerusalem in 597 BCE and it could be said that from this point that most historical events mentioned the bible are based on real historical events. From 515 BCE the jews were allowed to rebuild their temple in Jerusalem hence this period has come to be known as second temple Judaism.

A really good book to read further on this is:

‘The Bible Unearthed: Archaeology's New Vision of Ancient Israel and the Origin of Its Sacred Texts’. By Israel Finkelstein and Neil Asher Silberman.

The book,published in 2001, discusses the archaeology of Israel and its relationship to the origins and content of the Hebrew Bible. The authors are respected academic scholars and professors of archeology.
