The groundbreaking study was Harold W. Attridge’s The Interpretation of Biblical History in the “Antiquitates Judaicae” of Flavius Josephus (Missoula, MT: Scholars, 1976). See also Feldman, “Use, Authority and Exegesis of Mikra in the Writings of Josephus,” in Mikra: Text, Translation, Reading and Interpretation of the Hebrew Bible in Ancient Judaism and Early Christianity, ed. Martin J. Mulder and Harry Sysling (Minneapolis: Fortress, 1988), pp. 455–518.

Louis H. Feldman has studied each of the main Biblical characters in Josephus’s story. See the list of the resulting articles in his Jew and Gentile in Antiquity: Attitudes and Interactions from Alexander to Justinian (Princeton: Princeton Univ. Press, 1993), pp. 595–596.
