A major purpose of the Old Testament was to record the legends of the Hebrew people and the subsequent history of the Jews. A narrative style best suits this purpose. So, no, the use of narratives would not be unusual. Homer's epics (Iliad and Odyssey), sometimes called the Greek Bible, were also written in a narrative style.
