Term Sirya-Palestine?

The modern Palestine included both Israel/(Western) Palestine and Transjordan/Eastern Palestine, but then Churchill or whoever choped off the east half to make Transjordan (which with the West Bank added was rename Jordan). Jordan includes Gilead, Ammon, Moab & Edom. But only Gilead was part of ancien Israel proper, not Ammon & Moab & Edom though they were reduced to subservience some times.

You'd have to check the Roman and Arab/Muslim and Turkish/Ottoman proper provinces/governors of the Syria-Palestine area.

Some maps do show Neo-Babylonian empire covering whole region between Tigris and Nile delta, others show maybe the Gilead/Ammon part inside their empire borders but maybe Moab and Edom outside. Neo-Babylonian included Judah and Egypt. The Arab town Tayma(?) was in Babylonian sphere?

I'm not really sure of one that covers the whole history. I only know some for certain time periods but not others. It also depends on what particular angles you are more interested in. Wikipedia is always a handy basic starter help.
Your local Library should have some books.
