It was divided into two, the Northern Kingdom and Judah and the Southern Kingdom.
Yes, but they were split into two countries.
After Solomon's death, Israel split into the two kingdoms of Judah and Israel. Israel now had ten tribes and Judah had two.
Solomon's death resulted in the "divided kingdom". The Israelites weren't entirely happy with Solomon's extravagances, and upon his death they petitioned his son Rehoboam to institute reforms. When Rehoboam refused, the ten northern tribes (that is, all except the tribes of Judah and Benjamin) revolted and chose Jeroboam as their new king.

After the death of King Solomon, the Hebrew nation split into two kingdoms. Two tribes, including the tribe of Judah and the tribe of Jacob's youngest son Benjamin, formed the Southern Kingdom of Israel. The other 10 tribes, centered around Samaria made up the Northern Kingdom of Israel. In the year of 722 BC, the Assyrians conquered the Kingdom of Israel and sent the ten tribes into exile leaving two tribes left.
According to traditional chronology, the united kingdom, from Saul to Solomon, was for about 85 years. After that, the kingdom split into Judah and Israel. The kingdom of Judah was for 374 years following the death of King Solomon. The kingdom of Israel (the Ten Tribes) was for 241 years following the death of King Solomon.
Had the Kingdom of Israel not split after the death of King Solomon, the Ten Tribes would be with us today.
The people complained to the next king (Rehoboam) about the rate of taxation, and he ignored them, so some of the tribes seceded into a separate kingdom.
During King Solomon's reignTrouble was caused for Solomon by Haddad the Edomite and Rezon ben Elyada (1 Kings 11). After King Solomon's reignBecause of King Solomon's errors, God decreed that, later, Solomon's country (Israel) would be split into two, leaving Solomon's descendants with the minority of the Israelite Tribes, while the majority would be under Yerav'am (1 Kings ch.11).
After King Solomon's death, Israel separated into two Kingdoms - the Northern Kingdom of Israel which consisted primarily of 10 of the 12 tribes of Israel, and the Southern Kingdom of Judah which consisted primarily of tribe of Judah and Benjamin. It should be noted however, that each Kingdom had members of all 12 tribes of Israel.
