Usage: Rechabam is a proper noun used as a masculine name in the Hebrew Bible. It refers specifically to a king of Judah. Context: Rechabam, known in English as Rehoboam, was the son of Solomon and the grandson of David. He became the first king of the southern kingdom of Judah following the division of the united monarchy of Israel. His reign is noted for the significant event of the kingdom's division, which occurred due to his harsh policies and refusal to lighten the heavy burdens imposed by his father, Solomon. This led to the revolt of the northern tribes and the establishment of the separate kingdom of Israel under Jeroboam.
