According to The Bible, Rehoboam was not a good leader. He continue his father's unwise policy of swingeing taxes and then arrogantly increased them when the Israelites complained. In a very short time, he lost an empire, the United Monarchy of Israel.
However, it is reported that a majority of scholars believe that there never was a United Monarchy of Israel. They say that Israel and Judah were always separate, with their own customs and even different dialects of the Hebrew language. On this basis, Rehoboam did not lose an empire. Arguably, since the biblical authors created a United Israel in order to instil national unity and national pride, in a time of great difficulty for Judah, they needed an explanation as to why this great empire ceased to exist. Rehoboam and his lack of proper leadership were the convenient explanation.
