Wow. You want to shift from arguing NT historicity to OT? Really?
Because, you're standing on even shakier ground in doing so. At least with the NT, you can go Jesus-of-the-gaps and slip Jesus into the cracks of our knowledge of the time. Not so with the Davidic Empire or the Exodus from Egypt. Empires that stretch from the Sinai to the Euphrates should leave evidence of themselves. We have none. A major power of the time that suffers massive supernatural plagues and loses every first born child followed by its army in the Red Sea should have been noted but there is none.
Evidence for the Global flood: 0
Evidence for the Tower of Babel: 0
Evidence for the trek through the Sinai: 0
Evidence for the bloody trail to the promised land: 0
Name a major event of the OT, zero evidence.
You really want to go there?
Stick with the NT.
