Israel divided into two kingdoms during the time of solomon. The northern kingdom is Ephraim which is the younger brother and 2nd born. What upsets the older brother judah is the 2nd born gets the birthright. We see this time and time again with Ishmael and Issac...Esau and Jacob..Mannaseah and Ephraim..etc. The 2nd born receiving the birthright
Quoting: waterman "Israel divided into two kingdoms during the time of solomon." I had to stop just right there... because it is not true at least in the Bible its not true. The United Kingdom of Israel was divided at the death of Solomon... not during the time of Solomon. Yes, technically (1 Kings 12 and its parallel text in 2 Chronicles 10.) I think Waterman was referring to Shlomo (Soloman) being responsible for the divide of the kingdoms. And, technically, It wasn't at the death of Shlomo either.
