Rehoboam
The son of Solomon whose harsh leadership led to the division of the united kingdom of Israel.
Rehoboam was the final king of the united monarchy and the first king of the southern kingdom of Judah. His rejection of the elders' counsel in favor of his peers' harsh demands caused the ten northern tribes to revolt and form the kingdom of Israel. His reign serves as a pivotal historical marker for the fracturing of the Davidic kingdom.
