Rehoboam lost the northern ten tribes almost immediately (within the first two years of his reign). He remained the King of Judah for an additional fifteen years.
The king was king Solomons son Rehoboam.
Oh, what a joy to talk about King Solomon's sons! He had several sons, but the most well-known ones were Rehoboam and Jeroboam. Each of them played important roles in the history of Israel, and their stories remind us that every individual has a unique path to follow.
A:Abijam, or Abijah, was the son and successor to Rehoboam as king of Judah.
King Solomon had several sons, but the most notable among them were Rehoboam and Jeroboam. After Solomon's death, Rehoboam ascended to the throne, but his harsh policies led to the division of the kingdom. Jeroboam became the first king of the northern kingdom of Israel, while Rehoboam ruled over the southern kingdom of Judah. The split marked a significant turning point in the history of the Israelites.
Nadab was king of Israel after Jeroboam I.
Rehaboam split the kingdom. He wanted to raise taxes and Solomon's advisers advised against it. He did not listen to them instead listening to young advisers. Jeroboam came to him and asked him to lower the taxes or he would split the kingdom. Rehoboam did not listen and the kingdom was split.
