∙ 6y ago- How it began:
After Solomon's death, the people approached his son Rehav'am (Rehoboam) and asked that he now lower the tax. He ignored the counsel of his elder advisers and refused the people's request. This led the Ten Tribes to turn away from him (1 Kings ch.12).
The background reason was because King Solomon had been less than perfectly righteous. This led God to punish him by diminishing his dynasty in the lifetime of his son (Rehoboam). 1 Kings ch.11. A deeper reason is that God wanted the more righteous people of Judah to be influenced by the Ten Tribes as little as possible.
- Why "lost tribes"?
About 250 years after Rehoboam, the Assyrians exiled the Ten Tribes to points unknown, and they became lost to the rest of Jewry.

King Solomon had levied relatively heavy taxes, which had been used for such large-scale endeavors as building the First Temple. The fact that the nation was so prosperous and happy in his time (1 Kings 4:20) demonstrates that Solomon conducted his governance in a praiseworthy manner.

Why did the 10 tribes break away from judah?
The 10 tribes broke away from Judah due to political and religious differences. There was a division in the kingdom after the reign of King Solomon, with the northern tribes forming the Kingdom of Israel and the southern tribes forming the Kingdom of Judah. This split was exacerbated by disputes over leadership and worship practices.

What happened to the Israelites and people of Judah by 586bc?
The northern 10 tribes of Israel had been captured by Assyria forty years earlier, their aristocracies were deported to Assyria and a new aristocracy brought in to rule the tribes. In 587 Jerusalem was besieged by Nebuchadnezzar's Babylon and was captured. Following the Assyrian technique, the Babylonians sent the aristocracy of the southern tribes of Judah and Benjamin to Babylon and a new aristocracy was imported to rule the tribes and keep them quiet.
What religion did the faith of the israelites become known as?
The faith of the Israelites became known as Judaism. This is because, though the entire nation was known as Israel, but Rehoboam broke away and called his own kingdom Israel, taking 10 of the original 12 Israelite tribes with him. The two tribes left in the south were Judah and the tribe of Benjamin, the far larger of which was Judah, so the southern kingdom came to be known as such. Therefore, those living in Judah, were called Jews. After the Babylonian exile, the kingdom of Israel to the north was dispersed, and the 10 tribes of that kingdom were lost, leaving only Judah to carry on the Israelite faith. Thus, the only people left who believed in the God of Abraham were those from Judah - Jews. Accordingly, the religion they believed in was called Judaism.

Who named the followers of Moses as Jews?
The followers of Moses were Israelites, but today we sometimes use the term Hebrew, Jew and Israelite interchangeably. This, generically, would include Moses as a Jew, though more specifically he was from the Israelite tribe of Levi.The descendants of Abraham (through his grandson Jacob) were called Israelites, since God gave Jacob the honorific title of Israel (Genesis ch.35).After King Solomon's death, the 12 tribes of Israel split in two (1 Kings ch.12), with 10 tribes in the north following Jeroboam and 2 tribes in the south (Judah and Benjamin) following Solomon's son, Rehoboam.The term Jew was not used as a national title until after the 10 tribes (the Northern kingdom) was exiled, during the First Temple era.From that time, the name of "Jews" was used to refer to those who remained, since most of them belonged to the tribe of Judah. It was then used generically to apply to any Israelites returning from exile.
