According to the First Book of Kings, Solomon demonstrated no political wisdom, nor even sufficient common sense to govern wisely in the interests of his own son's succession to the throne of the United Monarchy. His ambitions led him to raise swingeing taxes, which his son and successor, Rehoboam, refused to lift. As a result, the Israelites broke away from the kingdom of Israel, forming the northern kingdom, Israel, leaving Rehoboam with the small enclave of Judah. Many modern scholars doubt this story and say that there never really was a United Monarchy of Israel under kings such as Solomon.
