But Rehoboam was still king over those of the children of Israel who were living in the towns of Judah.

And he made the walled towns strong, and he put captains in them and stores of food, oil, and wine.

And he got together all Judah and Benjamin and those of Ephraim and Manasseh and Simeon who were living with them; for numbers of them came to him out of Israel when they saw that the Lord his God was with him.

However, some of Asher and Manasseh and Zebulun put away their pride and came to Jerusalem.

So Israel was turned away from the family of David to this day.
