Extremely interesting to know these details. Thank you.

Is this something which was written in the bible or is it in historical books?

Yes, the historical context can be found in the books of Kings and Chronicles. I footnoted a few of the relevant passages if you scroll down to the bottom of the article. You can also find a good bit of the info confirmed in the prophetic books, Jeremiah, for example, speaks about these particular kings before and during the Babylonian Exile.
