Question 1 Report

The people of Israel said ‘To your tents, O Israel! Look now to your house, David ‘because
Answer Details
The people of Israel said "To your tents, O Israel! Look now to your house, David" because Rehoboam, who was the son of King Solomon and the new king of Israel, had refused to ease the burden of the people. The people felt that their taxes and labor had become too heavy, and they wanted relief from the new king. When Rehoboam refused their request, the people decided to rebel against him and turn to David's house for leadership. David was a beloved and successful king, and the people hoped that his descendants would be more compassionate and just rulers than Rehoboam.
