The immediate reason was because the king, Rehoboam, flouted the advice of his elder advisers and turned down the people's request that he lower the taxes. This led the Ten Tribes to secede from his kingdom (1 Kings ch.12).The background reason was because King Solomon was less than perfectly righteous. This led God to punish him by diminishing his dynasty during the reign of his son (Rehoboam). See 1 Kings ch.11.
