The division of the kingdom occurred around 930 BC, and the chronicler is writing from a post-exilic perspective, likely in the 5th century BC. This enduring division highlights the long-lasting consequences of the rebellion and the failure to reunite the tribes under a single monarchy.<p><b>Israel has been in rebellion</b><br>The term "rebellion" refers to the northern tribes' rejection of Rehoboam's rule, leading to the establishment of the separate kingdom of Israel under Jeroboam. This rebellion was not merely political but also spiritual, as it involved the rejection of the Davidic covenant, which promised a ruler from David's line. The rebellion is a fulfillment of the prophecy given to Jeroboam by the prophet Ahijah (<a href="/1_kings/11-29.htm">1 Kings 11:29-31</a>), indicating divine judgment on Solomon's idolatry and disobedience.<p><b>against the house of David</b><br>The "house of David" refers to the dynastic line established by God through David, with promises of an everlasting kingdom (<a href="/2_samuel/7-12.htm">2 Samuel 7:12-16</a>). The division of the kingdom represents a significant breach in the unity of the Israelite nation and a challenge to the Davidic covenant. This division foreshadows the eventual coming of Jesus Christ, the ultimate fulfillment of the Davidic promise, who would unite all believers under His eternal reign (<a href="/luke/1-32.htm">Luke 1:32-33</a>). The rebellion against the house of David also serves as a reminder of the consequences of turning away from God's chosen leadership and covenant promises.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/r/rehoboam.htm">Rehoboam</a></b><br>The son of Solomon and the king of Judah, whose harsh response to the Israelites led to the division of the kingdom.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/j/jeroboam.htm">Jeroboam</a></b><br>The first king of the northern kingdom of Israel, who led the ten tribes in rebellion against Rehoboam.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/i/israel.htm">Israel</a></b><br>Refers to the ten northern tribes that broke away from the united monarchy under Rehoboam's rule.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/h/house_of_david.htm">House of David</a></b><br>The royal lineage of David, which continued to rule over the southern kingdom of Judah.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/s/shechem.htm">Shechem</a></b><br>The place where Rehoboam went to be crowned king and where the rebellion against him was solidified.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/t/the_consequences_of_pride_and_harsh_leadership.htm">The Consequences of Pride and Harsh Leadership</a></b><br>Rehoboam's pride and refusal to listen to wise counsel led to the division of the kingdom.
