Why did Benjamin and Judah split off there tribes?
The Division A Punishment For Solomon's Apostasy The answer is found in 1 Kings 11:1-35. Because of Solomon's sin of idolatry, God gave the ten northern tribes to Jeroboam to rule and left Judah (and Benjamin... because they are closely related in the south) to Rehoboam, Solomon's son and the heir to the Davidic kingdom. Judah and Benjamin did not split off, the 10 northern tribes split off from the established kingdom in Jerusalem. Although the division of the Israelites was accomplished by means of the later foolishness of Rehoboam, it was actually decreed by God beforehand for the purpose of judgment on Solomon's sin: "And it came to pass at that time when Jeroboam went out of Jerusalem, that the prophet Ahijah the Shilonite found him in the way; and he had clad himself with a new garment; and they two were alone in the field:30And Ahijah caught the new garment that was on him, and rent it in twelve pieces:31 And he said to Jeroboam, Take thee ten pieces: for thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel, Behold, I will rend the kingdom out of the hand of Solomon, and will give ten tribes to thee:32 (But he shall have one tribe for my servant David's sake, and for Jerusalem's sake, the city which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel:)33 Because that they have forsaken me, and have worshipped Ashtoreth the goddess of the Zidonians, Chemosh the god of the Moabites, and Milcom the god of the children of Ammon, and have not walked in my ways, to do that which is right in mine eyes, and to keep my statutes and my judgments, as did David his father.34 Howbeit I will not take the whole kingdom out of his hand: but I will make him prince all the days of his life for David my servant's sake, whom I chose, because he kept my commandments and my statutes:35 But I will take the kingdom out of his son's hand, and will give it unto thee, even ten tribes.(1 Kings 11:29-35 KJV)The Kingdom's of Israel The United Kingdom of Israel lasted through the reigns of Saul, David and Solomon. After Solomon died, the kingdom split into two, the ten tribes (Reuben, Simeon, Dan, Naphtali, Gad, Asher, Issachar, Zebulun, Ephraim and Manasseh and Benjamin of "Israel" with their capital up in Samaria, and the tribes of Benjamin (main tribe) and Judah forming the kingdom of "Judah" with their capital at Jerusalem. Based on 1 Kings 12:23, there were probably members of some of the other 10 tribes that remained in the south with Benjamin and Judah when the northern tribes split off.
