Hello!

The guilt and responsibility for the division of the kingdom rested completely on Solomon is a True Statement.

King Solomon had 700 wives and 300 concubines, most of them were from foreign lands. Those wives and concubines turned the heart of Solomon from God to their idols, and God, as a punishment, told him: "Since this is your attitude and you have not kept my covenant and my decrees, which I commanded you, I will most certainly tear the kingdom away from you and give it to one of your subordinates" (1 Kings 11:11).

God tore the kingdom and gave 10 tribes to Jeroboam, leaving only two for the sake of David, father of Solomon. So, the guilt and responsibility for the division of the kingdom rested completely on Solomon.

Have a nice day!
