God’s response to Solomon’s failure as a king was to split the kingdom. He did so at the time Solomon died and his son took over. Jeroboam was an enemy of his father the king when he was alive, and hid out in Egypt until Solomon was dead. Solomon had been taxing the kingdom so much that it devastated the people in the land. Solomon had given into idolatry
through his wives. He distanced himself from the true King of Israel: God. This was a very traumatic time in which Rehoboam, another of Solomon’s sons, took control. The LORD moved in and permitted Jeroboam to return from Egypt to advise Rehoboam to relax the taxes and handle the people with less intensity. Rehoboam did not listen to their advice and
came back with a harsher response–– the intensity would increase. There was a revolt against Rehoboam and the kingdom was split. Rehoboam was determined to fight and get it back.
