I have a pet hypothesis, but once I post it, certain people are going to rush in to tell me I'm full of it.
I don't think the ancient Hebrews actually believed God was all-knowing. They were too smart to imagine that even a god could be perfect. Sure, he created the entire known universe, but I honestly think they viewed him as having imperfections, learning as he went along.

@LordShadowfire Gods weren't perfect and perfection is relative anyway. Perfection according to the Bible writers was completeness not idealistic and impractical. God isn't all knowing, he can get to know anything he wants to, which itself negates all knowing.
