The reign of King Solomon was a time when there were no wars, but it is not to say that all was well. There are many reports in 1 Kings 2 about how Solomon's son Rehoboam (crown prince) rebelled against his father and set up an independent country called Judah which he ruled from Jerusalem for sixteen years before being captured by Jeroboam II, king of Israel. This chapter records some of what happened during this period.
