Is there a timeline somewhere that shows the history of Israel along with kings, wars fought (babylonian captivity etc.), prophets etc. so you can see the relationship between all these things at a glance?
I didn't think of typing in the word timelines in a search and I did so and got a lot of results. Still if anyone has a suggestion for an all in one timeline that has been helpful to them I would appreciate it. It would really be helpful to see a timeline that has all the above along with books of the Bible as they pertain to the events. [:D]
Do you have the Holman Book of Biblical Charts, Maps, and Reconstructions? There's a pretty good timeline starting on p. 31 that goes on for several pages which aligns biblical events with world history at the time and books of the Bible.
Tim,
If you have Expositor's Commentary, this one is good: logosres:ebc04;ref=Page.p_13;off=1829,
or New Bible Commentary: logosres:nbc;art=joshua2c;off=1528
or Visual Survey of the Bible: logosres:vissurv;art=p32
There are some on the internet: http://www.biblestudy.org/beginner/timelineot.html,

I hope that helps!

Great suggestions, Anthony! As you may have discovered, pasting URLs from Logos into the forum doesn't maintain them as links. So you need to put some link text (possibly just the logosres URL you pasted is fine), select it, and use the link icon (or press Ctrl+K) to past in the link URL.
Here are those Logos refs again with active links:

You know about the timelines in your library, right? Just enter type:timeline in the library to see them. Unfortunately it doesn't show kings and prophets together (there on separate timelines), but you could show both on the screen at the same time (and add them to the same linkset).
Thanks for the help everyone! This particular one on the internet is exactly what I was looking for to see a quick glance of historic events from Israel's history in just one place. All the other sufggestions are good for additional insight.
Wow, I followed the copyright notice on that image to its original source and there are a ton of cool Bible diagrams there:

It would be great if Logos could license them!
This may be a dumb question, but what does adding them to a link set do?

If you put them on the same link set, you can align them one over the other, zoom them in, and scroll one of them, and the other will scroll in tandem with it so that the dates line up together:
Apparently this isn't working on Mac. I assumed this is what was meant. Thanks.

Please report it as a bug in the Mac forum, then (or Mac beta forum if you're using a beta version), as they're collecting all the things that work in the Windows version that don't yet work in the Mac version.
Rosie-
That's a great find! Thanks.
