A fair question. First, there is archaeological evidence as well as external textual evidence to support a number of the elements of the story -- the existence of an Israelite kingdom in that area at the time of David, for example.

Second, Judaism as a religion is not as heavily dependent upon miracle accounts as is Christianity.
