According to tradition, the events described below happened in (or shortly after) 796 BCE. Non-traditional opinions place it about 150 years earlier.
Rehoboam's father, King Solomon, had levied relatively heavy taxes, which had been used for such large-scale endeavors as building the First Temple. After Solomon's death, the people approached his son Rehav'am (Rehoboam) and asked that he lower the taxes. 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.

In the actual ancient times, when the unified Kingdom of David split into the northern Kingdom of Israel, and the southern Kingdom of Judah, the northern kingdom was renamed "Israel" to rebel against the rule of the tribe of Judah. The northern Israelites, had rejected Judaism in favor of pagan worship, religious split is what caused the division.
