Answer:

united

Step-by-step explanation:

Solomon was succeeded by his son, Rehoboam who became the King of the United Monarchy of Israel. However, this only happened for a while because a rebellion occurred under the leadership of Jeroboam regarding the reduction of taxes. Ten of the tribes rebelled when their petition was ignored. Thus, they withdrew from David's house and pronounced Jeroboam as the first king of the north (The Kingdom of Israel). This left Rehoboam with only the southern kingdom (The Kingdom of Judah).
