Many Bibles and Bible Study books have maps of Ancient Israel.
FYI, Iraq and Iran probably won't show up in the bible maps. They were too far east of that region.
The region went roughly from Egypt in the SW, northwards along the eastern coast of the Mediterranean Sea through Israel to Lebanon, eastward into the SW portion of Syria, and the western most part of modern Jordan (which was Babylonia in bible times).
Many of the towns of bible times (Jerusalem, Bethlehem, Nazareth, etc) are still in existence today. So, it should be easy to match up these bible times maps to a modern map.

National Geographic or any major book store.
