the united monarchy breaks up, jeroboam ruling on northern kingdom of israel (blue on map) , rehoboam ruling kingdom of judah south.
according hebrew bible, solomon last ruler of united kingdom of israel. dies of natural causes @ around 80 years of age. upon solomon s death, son, rehoboam, succeeds him. however, ten of tribes of israel refuse accept him king, splitting united monarchy in northern kingdom of israel under jeroboam, while rehoboam continues reign on smaller southern kingdom of judah. henceforth 2 kingdoms never again united.
