The first 17 books of the Bible trace the history of man from creation through the inception and destruction of the nation of Israel.
The first five books of the Bible are called the, "Pentateuch". These books record how Israel was chosen, redeemed, and prepared to enter the promised homeland.
The remaining 12 books record the conquest of the lands, a history of the judges that ruled over the nation, the formation of the kingdom, and the division of that kingdom into the northern (Israel) and southern (Judah) kkingdoms, and finally the total destruction and captivity of both kingdoms.
