Why did the 10 tribes break away from judah?
After King Solomon died his son Rehoboam became king. The ten tribe leaders came to Rehoboam and said (I Kings 12:1-17), "Your father made our yoke heavy; now therefore lighten the burdensome service of your father, and his heavy yoke, which he put on us and we will serve you." To make a long story short Rehoboam refused and so the ten tribes broke away from the full kingdom of Israel and made a new kingdom of the northern ten tribes.
What is the tribal confederacy and why is it important in the Old Testament?
The tribal confederacy was the organization of the twelve tribes. (Based on the descendents of Jacob.) Joshua established this at Schechem. If you were to read the Old Testament, you would see constant references to some tribe doing something or someone being from a particular tribe. This is important to Messianic prophecies, as the Messiah was to come from the tribe of Judah. The tribal confederacy in particular was kind of like a pact, where the tribes bound themselves together as Israel. They would not act as individual families or city-states, but as one nation together, with a common ancestor and a common God. This confederacy is later broken when the people split into the Southern Kingdom of Judah (composed of the tribes of Judah and Benjamin) and the Northern Kingdom of Israel (made up of everyone else).

Was Judah the north?
A:According to the Bible, the northern tribes broke away from the kingdom of Israel, with its capital in Jerusalem, to found a kingdom called Israel. The remnant former kingdom, still based around Jerusalem, took the name of Judah. If that sounds rather puzzling, many scholars believe there never was a united kingdom of Israel. The respected Israeli archaeologist, Israel Finkelstein, says that the two kingdoms were always separate, with their own separate cultures and dialects of the Hebrew language.
Why were Israel and Judah separate?
In the Bible, First Kings 12 records how the kingdom of Israel was split in two. King David's grandson, Rehoboam, was a king who made his people's lives difficult. He increased their taxes and forced them to work longer hours, even beating them for not working hard enough. Ten of the Israelite tribes revolted and formed a new kingdom called Israel; while the two southern tribes of Judah and Benjamin remained loyal to the family of King David. The two nations were eventually reunited, after both Judah and Israel had been defeated by their enemies (Babylon & Assyria) and carried away into slavery.

In the year of 722 BC, the Assyrians conquered the Kingdom of Israel and sent the ten tribes into exile leaving two tribes left.

At one time all of Israel was one nation, but when King Solomon died his son, Rehoboam became king. At that time the people came before the new king and asked, " Your father made our yoke heavy; now therefore lighten the burdensome service of your father, and his heavy yoke which he put on us, and we will serve you". To make a long story short Rehoboam after three days of consulting with others gave them this answer; "My father made your yoke heavy, but I will add to your yoke". So ten of the twelve tribes split from the kingdom and started their own kingdom known as the northern tribes of Israel, that left Judah and Benjamin in the south and they were the southern kingdom, known as Judah. Each kingdom had its own king (See I Kings 12:)
