Answer
Nick,

Hope you don't mind, but another volunteer placed your question in the "Question Pool" and I though I've already answered this for you, I wanted to make sure you did get a reply.

It is my understanding that most (if not all) those who are practicing Jews do not believe in the doctrine of the trinity.

As to whether the Old Testament saints you listed believed in the trinity, I believe the Bible indicates that they did. Though they may have not had the full revelation of the trinity (this was fully given through Christ), they "walked" in the revelation that they had. By this I mean that the did not have the full understanding that we have access to through the Holy Bible.

Here is a copy from our "What We Believe" site that may help explain the trinity...

THE GODHEAD - We believe in the eternal, omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent, sovereign, and immutable triune God; and in the unity of the Godhead where three personalities, equal in every divine perfection and attribute, execute distinct, harmonious offices, in the great work of redemption. This does not mean that there are three people called God, but rather a way of saying God eternally exists in three personally distinct ways. Scriptures declare that there is only one God, Who is eternally (past, present, and future) manifested as Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.
Scripture References: 1 John 5:7, 2 Cor. 13:14, John 1:1,2, Rev. 4:2-5 & 5:1-7

Please let me know if this helps, or if you have any further questions.

Experience

I attended a fundamental independent Baptist church for many years. While attending the church I learned the doctrines and beliefs of the Baptist movement. I now attend an independent Pentecostal church. I have served there as an Elder for fourteen years. I minister in song with the choir and worship team. I am also the new member’s class coordinator, men's ministry director, and the Harvest Riders motorcycle ministry president.
In 1993 the Lord called me to "...preach the Gospel where ever I open the door..." I have had the privilege of ministering God's Word to churches in Oklahoma, Texas, Louisiana and Arkansas. In those meetings we have seen the Lord save, heal, deliver, and fill people will His Spirit.

Organizations
I am ordained through Harvest Church, and with the World Harvest Ministerial Fellowship. I also am a licensed minister with the State of Oklahoma.
