Context

The Kingdom Divided

¹⁶When all Israel saw that the king had refused to listen to them, they answered the king: “What portion do we have in David, and what inheritance in the son of Jesse? To your tents, O Israel! Look now to your own house, O David!” So all the Israelites went home,¹⁷but Rehoboam still reigned over the Israelites living in the cities of Judah.

Summary

This verse highlights the fulfillment of the prophecy given to King Solomon that the kingdom would be divided during the reign of his son, Rehoboam. The division of the kingdom into the northern kingdom of Israel and the southern kingdom of Judah was a consequence of Rehoboam's harsh leadership style, which led to rebellion among the people. The verse serves as a reminder of the importance of wise and just leadership, as well as the consequences of pride and arrogance in governance. It also sets the stage for the subsequent history of Israel and Judah, showing the impact of leadership decisions on the fate of nations.
