📚 Historical Context

After King Solomon's death, the kingdom of Israel split into the northern kingdom under Jeroboam and the southern kingdom under Rehoboam, leading to religious and political division. Jeroboam established idolatrous worship sites with golden calves in the north, which caused the faithful priests and Levites to abandon their territories and relocate to Judah. There, they rallied to Rehoboam to maintain the true worship of God in Jerusalem as prescribed in the Law.
