Quick answer
Israel's rebellion against the house of David remains in force 'to this day.' The division of the kingdom is now a settled, enduring reality.
Overview
The Chronicler notes that the northern secession persisted to his own time, marking a lasting wound in God's people. The split would weaken both kingdoms and eventually lead to exile. Yet the longing for a reunited people under one Davidic shepherd points forward to the gospel, where Christ gathers a single flock from Jew and Gentile alike (John 10:16; Ephesians 2:14-16).
