true
false

Answer 1

King Solomon's death led to the division of the nation of Israel into two kingdoms: Israel and Judah.

Step-by-step explanation:

After the death of King Solomon, the nation of Israel divided into two kingdoms: Israel in the north and Judah in the south. The southern kingdom of Judah, with its capital in Jerusalem, retained the name and was more conservative and poorer compared to the larger and wealthier northern kingdom of Israel. The division was not over the issue of taxation, but rather due to political and religious differences.
