While King Solomon reigned there was peace, but when he died the peace had stopped. The kingdom then split to the north half Israel and the south half Judah. The Northern part, Israel, eventually turned to polytheism and was destroyed by assyria, while the Southern part continued to believe in one God, and their faith was renewed by the prophets.

Who were king of Judah when David was king of Israel?
King David was the king of Judah and Israel. The separation between the kingdoms was on the days of king David's grandson, king Rehoboam (son of king Solomon, who was the son of king David).
What happened to Israel after King Solomon?
The mighty kingdom of Isarael started falling apart. After the death of King Solomon, his country (Israel) split into the two kingdoms of Judah (led by Solomon's son, Rehoboam) and Israel (led by Solomon's former general, Jeroboam), as stated in 1 Kings ch.12. It began in 1 Kings 11:30-34 so God splits it into two kingdoms, so his son Reboboam took over. This son is punished. Its unclear which son took over the house of david. This splits the 12 tribes of Israel. Since Soloman is told he will lose his kingdom only after his death. This made the kingdom of Israel and Judah.
