This site's exposition

dwelt in the cities of Judah

on 2 Chronicles 10:17-19

Chronicles keeps only the ten tribes' rebellion, Hadoram's stoning, and the flight to Jerusalem, then stops: it never follows Jeroboam north to the golden calves at Bethel and Dan or narrates a single reign of the northern kingdom on its own terms, the material 1 Ki 12:25 through 2 Kings carries at length. The book's stated method is at work in the omission; the throne the Chronicler traces is Judah's and David's, and the northern kings will appear from here only where they touch it. Israel rebelled against the house of David unto this day marks the rupture as still open when the Chronicler writes, generations later, to a remnant left with only Judah's throne to remember.

Commentary on Chapter X 4. Grievous - It is probable, when Solomon had declined from God, that God left him to himself to act thus impolitically. If thou be kind, &c. - Moderate counsels are generally best.
