Answer:
After more than a century of the kingdom of Israel under <em><u>Saul, David, and Solomon</u></em>, the kingdom was divided between <em><u>Rehoboam</u></em> in the south, and <em><u>Jeroboam</u></em> in the north.
Explanation:
During the Old Testament times, the kingdom of Israel was ruled by numerous kings that the Lord appointed. But often at times being passed from one to another among the same family, the kings also were removed by the Lord if they disobeyed or behaved against his will.
In those periods, the people of Israel were under the guidance of the priests who passed on the directives from God. But with the death of the prophet Eli and the aging Samuel, Israel demanded to be given a king to rule and lead them in wars. So, God directed prophet Samuel to anoint Saul as king of Israel (1 Samuel 10). After him came David, son of Jesse (1 Samuel 16), succeeded by his son Solomon (1 Kings 1:28- 36). After Solomon drifted away from God, the kingdom of Israel was divided into two, the south ruled by Rehoboam(1 Kings 14:21) and the North ruled by Jeroboam (1 Kings 11: 26- 40).
