📚 Historical Context
This verse concludes the account of how the united kingdom of Israel split into two nations around 930 BC. After King Solomon's death, his son Rehoboam made harsh demands on the people, causing ten northern tribes to rebel and form their own kingdom under Jeroboam, while only Judah and Benjamin remained loyal to David's descendants. The phrase 'unto this day' indicates this division was still in effect when the book was written, centuries later.
