In the first five books:

בראשית פרק ח פסוק יד

וּבַחֹדֶשׁ הַשֵּׁנִי בְּשִׁבְעָה וְעֶשְׂרִים יוֹם לַחֹדֶשׁ יָבְשָׁה הָאָרֶץ

A quick Sefaria search on 28, 29, and 30 confirms that this is the highest in all of Tanach (since months have at most 30 days). – DonielF Apr 19 '20 at 03:56
Also Kings 2:25:27 – Double AA Apr 19 '20 at 15:36
@Doniel Samuel 1:20:5 is the 29th of the month – Double AA Apr 20 '20 at 00:15
@Double Yes, but it doesn’t actually say “29th” in the passuk - just מחר חדש. – DonielF Apr 20 '20 at 15:33
