Greetings Neil and welcome to the forum! I wanted to give you a little history as to why this hapened. In his prosperity King solomon forgot about God. He instead turned his heart to the gods of his wives and disobeyed God's laws and covenant. After everything that God has done for Solomon He became very angry and told Solomon that He would "surely tear the kingdom away from you and give it to your servant" (1Kin 11:11b). For David's sake he did leave a remnant to Solomon's son. After Solomon's death God did divide the kingdom, giving his servant Jeroboam th Kingdom of Israel to the North which consisted of 10 tribes. Rehoboam, Solomon's son, He gave 2 tribes, Judah and Benjamin which then became the Northern Kingdom of Judah. The Northern Kingdom had a total of 19 kings and lasted for 211 years. The Southern Kingdom lasted 327 years and had a total of 20 kings. Idolatry was the sole cause of the split. prayon |
