At the time of King Solomon's death, the people approached his successor, Rechav'am (Rehoboam) and asked him to ease up on their tax burden. When he refused, they broke away under their spokesman, Yerav'am (Jeroboam) and formed a separate kingdom composed of ten of the twelve tribes. Rechav'am was left with the two tribes of Judah and Benjamin. This state of affairs continued throughout the period of the Kings.

Nowadays, Israel is not divided into two kingdoms, but thousands of years ago, Israel was split into two kingdoms called "Yehuda" and "Israel". Both kingdoms were Jewish and both had their own ledership, but only one kingdom, "Yehuda", was oficially ruling the land of Israel and Jerusalem
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.
After the split of the Kingdom of Israel, the two southern tribes that formed the Kingdom of Judah were Judah and Benjamin. This division occurred around 931 BCE, following the reign of King Solomon, leading to the establishment of two separate kingdoms: Israel in the north and Judah in the south. The Kingdom of Judah maintained its capital in Jerusalem and was known for its lineage of Davidic kings.
After King Solomon's death, Israel separated into two Kingdoms - the Northern Kingdom of Israel which consisted primarily of 10 of the 12 tribes of Israel, and the Southern Kingdom of Judah which consisted primarily of tribe of Judah and Benjamin. It should be noted however, that each Kingdom had members of all 12 tribes of Israel.
The two new kingdoms that emerged were the Kingdom of Israel in the north, with Samaria as its capital, and the Kingdom of Judah in the south, with Jerusalem as its capital.
