Because of the great sin of Solomon God divided the kingdom into two parts. 1Ki 11:6 Solomon did evil in the sight of the LORD, and did not fully follow the LORD, as did his father David. 1Ki 11:7 Then Solomon built a high place for Chemosh the abomination of Moab, on the hill that is east of Jerusalem, and for Molech the abomination of the people of Ammon. The Northern Kingdom was made up of ten tribes known as The House of Ephraim or The House of Israel. The Southern Kingdom was known as The House of Judah. The Northern Kingdom sinned greatly against God and changed the Festivals and Laws so the people would not go back to Jerusalem. (Jeroboam did not want loose his subjects) God scattered the Northern Kingdom to the four corners of the earth because of these sins. Not keeping the feasts and changing the dates and seasons God had ordained. God said in the last days He would once again gather these Lost Tribes and bring them back to Israel.
