Your really do need to put your bible down and start to learn about other cultures/religion.
There is NOTHING pre-dating the Persian period which gives any indication that the inhabitants of Judah were anything other than run of the mill Canaanites who were moving in the direction of henotheism...much as Babylon had done with Marduk.
I highly recommend Philip R. Davies "In Search of Ancient Israel."
