2 CHRONICLES 10:15 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“So the king hearkened not unto the people: for the cause was of God, that the Lord might perform his word, which he spake by the hand of Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam the son of Nebat.”
When all Israel saw that the king did not hearken to them, the people answered the king, 'What share have we in David? We have no inheritance in the son of Jesse. Each of you to your tents, O Israel! Look now to your own house, David.' So all Israel went to their tents — The northern tribes, rejected by Rehoboam, renounced Davidic loyalty (מַה־לָּנוּ חֵלֶק בְדָוִד וְלֹא־לָנוּ נַחֲלָה בְּבֶן־יִשַׁי) and returned to their homes (וַיִּשְׁמְרוּ כֻלּוּ־יִשְׂרָאֵל לַאֹהָלִים). The rejection was explicitly Davidic-dynastic in character. The schism was accomplished: north withdrew allegiance; south retained Davidic control.
