Some are stories, and some are true. The best thing to do is get books on the subject by reputable, peer-reviewed scholars. Read up on the Documentary Hypothesis, Redaction Criticism, Rhetorical Criticism, etc. Scholars have a very sound understanding of the Bible. The modern school of Biblical criticism is dedicated to understanding the text as it was understood by the original hearers. I like to use the example of Animal Farm by George Orwell. Centuries from now, some folks will dismiss it as nonsense because it has talking animals. Others will believe that the farm really existed, and that the animals really talked. But scholars will understand that it is a complex and sophisticated analogy for the Russian revolution. The Bible is the same way. Most of the first five books, for example, were written as a critique of the Jewish schism in the 9th century BC, and were never meant to be history.
