According to the Old Testament, King David and King Solomon were father and son. They are also said to have both ruled over ancient Israel.
Solomon, Rehoboam, and Jeroboam were all kings in ancient Israel. Solomon was known for his wisdom and wealth, Rehoboam was Solomon's son who ruled after him and led to the split of the kingdom, and Jeroboam was the first king of the northern kingdom of Israel after the split. They were all key figures in the history of Israel.
There kings
The ruler of the divided kingdom were King Saul, King David, and King Solomon in Israel, and King Rehoboam in Judah.
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.
The split between Israel and Judah occurred around 930 BCE after the death of King Solomon, following a succession crisis. Israel fell to the Assyrians in 722 BCE and Judah later to the Babylonians in 586 BCE.
Rehoboam lost most of his kingdom due to his harsh and oppressive rule over the people of Israel. After the death of King Solomon, the ten northern tribes rebelled against Rehoboam's leadership and followed Jeroboam, splitting the kingdom into two – the northern kingdom of Israel and the southern kingdom of Judah.
The division of Israel into the northern and southern kingdoms was primarily due to political and religious tensions. After the reign of King Solomon, the kingdom split into two because of conflicts over power and worship practices. Jeroboam led the northern kingdom of Israel, while Rehoboam became king of the southern kingdom of Judah.
Jeroboam
Rehoboam and Jeroboam were both kings in Israel's divided kingdom.
Ahijah prophesied to Jeroboam that God would tear the kingdom of Israel away from Solomon's descendants and give ten tribes to Jeroboam to rule. This prophecy came true when Solomon's son Rehoboam lost control of the northern tribes, leading to the division of Israel into two kingdoms.
Jeroboam died in -910.

Well, in a sense, yes....Jeroboam was the son of Nebat, a servant of Solomon's, and an Ephraimite from Zeredah(1 Kings 11:26).Solomon was from the tribe of Judahso the 'relationship' would have been VERY distant. (If you go far enough back, ALL of us on earth, even today, could be considered 'related'...through Adam.)Solomon would have been related to Jeroboam through the twelve sons of Jacob. (Solomon through Judah; Jeroboam through Judah's nephew, Ephraim).Rehoboam (Jeroboam's rival)WAS, however, closely related, being Solomon's son.(2 Chronicles 13:6-7)

II Chron 11:21 Rehoboam
The ruler of the divided kingdom were King Saul, King David, and King Solomon in Israel, and King Rehoboam in Judah.
Nadab was king of Israel after Jeroboam I.
A:According to the Bible, Rehoboam was succeeded by Abijah, who ruled Judah for two years. Some scholars believe that both Rehoboam and Abijah might have been purely legendary, as they say Judah probably did not have kings at such an early stage in its history.
Answer Most certainly Solomon's son Rehoboam became king. However, as mentioned above, due to his taxation policy his kingdom was nowhere as extensive was his father Solomon's. See Discussion Re. Solomon.
