For the Babylonians, Assyrians, and the Persians, there was more importance placed on their political and military power. All of their wins or losses were a reflection on how well their armies were organized, and how well equipped their leaders were to secure a win for their people. In contrast, Hebrews were not as concerned with this, or at least their writings show a different attitude. The Hebrews seemed to be more concerned with just the will of God, and wanting to please him, rather than their conquerors, who were more concerned on what that a loss would mean for them politically. 

Also, in their attitude that they would write about their losses and wins, the Hebrews would write about them within the context of their religion and all rooted in their collective relationship with God. This is something that they had in common, as their conquerors also believed that the result of their battles were the result of the will of the gods that they believed in. However, the Hebrews took a much more positive attitude towards it, and saw it all a part of God’s plan, rather than just the reaction of the gods. 

Also a difference in the way that they would record their history, the Hebrews would not carve, paint, or create images of themselves due to their covenant with God. They would only express their history by way of writing and sketching. This is interesting however because there are images of the Hebrews, but they are shown by way of their conquerors, who did not follow the Hebrews religion. The Hebrews conquerors have many displays of art that show their battles in a visual manner.
