"Rehoboam (/ˌriːəˈboʊ.əm/; Hebrew: רְחַבְעָם, Reḥav´am; Greek: Ροβοαμ, Rovoam; Latin: Roboam) was the first king of the Kingdom of Judah. He was a son of and the successor to Solomon and a grandson of David. In the account of I Kings and II Chronicles, he was initially king of the United Monarchy of Israel, but after the ten northern tribes of Israel rebelled in 932/931 BC to form the independent Northern Kingdom of Israel, under the rule of Jeroboam, Rehoboam remained as king only of the Kingdom of Judah, or southern kingdom." - (en.wikipedia.org 04.10.2020)
