And Israel rebelled against the house of David unto this day.
Israel’s revolt against the house of David came after Rehoboam refused to relieve the oppressive policies that had begun under Solomon. That refusal brought to fulfillment the prophetic prediction that the kingdom would be divided. In the division, Judah and Benjamin became the kingdom of Judah under Rehoboam, while the ten northern tribes became the kingdom of Israel under Jeroboam. The statement that the rebellion continued unto this day means the breach remained unhealed at the time of the account.
