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."

Who took the Northern Kingdom Israel into captivity?
Initially in 740 BCE the northern part was absorbed into the Assyrian Empire. Then in 722 BCE, the southern part and capital Samaria was absorbed. The aristocracy was deported to Assyria where it was used to rule another part of the empire, and the aristocracy there brought in to take on ruling the northern 10 tribes. The Assyrians use this technique so that conquered territories did not have sympathetic aristocracies which might promote rebellions. The Babylonians copied this technique when they later took over Judah and Benjamin in the south, deporting the aristocracy to Babylon and importing a foreign aristocracy to rule them.
Why did 10 of 12 tribes break away?
Rehoboam's father, King Solomon, had levied relatively heavy taxes, which had been used for such large-scale endeavors as building the First Temple. The fact that the nation was so prosperous and happy in his time (1 Kings 4:20) demonstrates that Solomon conducted his governance in a praiseworthy manner. After Solomon's death, the people approached his son Rehav'am (Rehoboam) and asked that he now lower the tax. 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.
