Why did the two Israelite Kingdoms the Northern Kingdom of Israel and the Southern Kingdom of Judah separate and remain politically divided?
Prioktan918
According to The Bible, the source of the division between the Northern and Southern Kingdoms of Israel and Judah respectively comes from Solomon's successor Rehoboam failing to lift the tax burden on Israelites as well as his lead general Jeroboam's charisma in leading ten of the Israelite tribes to secede from Rehoboam's country and establish another dominion.
Archaeologically, there is insufficient evidence at this point to say whether or not the Northern and Southern Israelite Kingdoms were ever united. (This is not to say that they were not or that they were, but that we do not have enough evidence to be sure either way.)
They remained politically divided as there was never an attempt by either state to conquer the other state. They were far more useful to one another as allies against other secondary powers like Aram, Moab, and Phoenicia as well as against the larger powers like Assyria (which eventually destroyed the Northern Kingdom of Israel), Egypt, and Babylonia (which eventually destroyed the Southern Kingdom of Judah).

The question as posed is impossible to answer. Reasons: Israel was the Northern Kingdom and Judah was the Southern Kingdom.

Secondly the Kingdoms of Israel and Judah reigned for a few hundred years and therefore had many kings. Without specifying an exact event or year or period, it would be impossible to know which king you want to know about.
