Israel Secedes from David's House

1 Kings 12:16-19
16
When all Isra'el saw that the king wasn't listening to them, the people answered the king, "Do we have any share in David? We have no heritage in the son of Yishai! Go to your tents, Isra'el! Care for your own house, David!" So Isra'el left for their tents.
17
But as for the people of Isra'el living in the cities of Y'hudah, Rechav'am ruled over them.
18
King Rechav'am then sent Adoram, who was in charge of forced labor; but all Isra'el stoned him to death. King Rechav'am managed to mount his chariot and flee to Yerushalayim.
19
Isra'el has been in rebellion against the dynasty of David to this day.
