Responce: Good question, there are some more you did'nt list but I get the point. Remember just because the bible mentioned these books does not mean they were insprired, they were just recordings of events. Ex: Paul in his ministry qouted some books that were from other sources (meaning non christians sources) but that does not mean that the book was insprired. He used it to prove a point, also it should be noted that the books from Joshua threw 2 Kings are referred to as the Dueto-historical books, what that means is that the authors were writting the books from the perspective of how Isreal and its Kings responded to the law of Duetoronomy, thats why they are together like they was the are. So its not an exhaustive historicle account more of a theological one.
