This led to a division within the kingdom, with the northern tribes of Israel rebelling against Solomon's son Rehoboam. The declaration in question was made by the rebel leader Jeroboam, who rejected the authority of the Davidic dynasty and called for the northern tribes to secede from the kingdom.
