Detailed explanation-1: -From this point on, there would be two kingdoms of Hebrews: in the north-Israel, and in the south-Judah. The Israelites formed their capital in the city of Samaria, and the Judaeans kept their capital in Jerusalem.
Detailed explanation-2: -While the Kingdom of Judah remained intact during this time, it became a client state of first the Neo-Assyrian Empire and then the Neo-Babylonian Empire. However, Jewish revolts against the Babylonians led to the destruction of Judah in 586 BCE, under the rule of Babylonian king Nebuchadnezzar II.
Detailed explanation-3: -As prophesied by Ahijah (1 Kings 11:31-35), the house of Israel was divided into two kingdoms. This division, which took place approximately 975 B.C., after the death of Solomon and during the reign of his son, Rehoboam, came about as the people revolted against heavy taxes levied by Solomon and Rehoboam.
