Rehobaom had no answer to this question, so he thought of asking the young and old advisers about it. The old people advised him to be kind and allow them tax relaxation. However, the young people wanted him to be strict and control his men. Rehobaom agreed to the young group and conveyed the same message to the people. The tribes were unhappy with this decision, and wanted to rebel again the new king. They also asked Jeroboam to become the new king. The King sent his loyal man Adoniram to fight against the people. However, the tribes pelted stones at him and killed him. There were only two tribes who supported the new king and didn’t think of rebelling against him. In this way, two kingdoms were formed.
