The two ways in the Bible: Those from every tribe of Israel who set their hearts on seeking the LORD, followed the Levites. 2 Chronicles 11:16

The teaching about the two ways for man is something constant in the Bible, wisdom and foolishness, righteousness and sin, are inevitable choices. And what happened after the death of King Solomon in Israel is proof of this ancient sapiential teaching.
Rehoboam, the son of Solomon and legitimate successor as king, due to his lack of wisdom did not know how to listen in the assembly of Shechem, so all the tribes of Israel except Judah and Benjamin, rebelled and refused Rehoboam as king.
Jeroboam, an enemy of Solomon, took advantage of the situation to be proclaimed king of Israel and govern the remaining tribes, and with the political schism, the religious one also arrived. In this way, the children of Israel had to choose between the two proposed paths, the idolatry of the golden calves created by Jeroboam, and the devotion to the only God who had freed them from the slavery of Egypt.
And as the Book of Psalms teaches in the Psalm 1, there is no blessing for those who choose the path of error, the Kingdom of Israel would last two hundred more years until its complete destruction, only the descendants of the tribe of Judah would survive the invasions of Assyria and Babylon.
In this way, the Second Book of Chronicles relates how Jeroboam's sin divided the Israelites spiritually:
"The Levites even abandoned their pasturelands and property and came to Judah and Jerusalem, because Jeroboam and his sons had rejected them as priests of the Lord when he appointed his own priests for the high places and for the goat and calf idols he had made.
Those from every tribe of Israel who set their hearts on seeking the LORD, the God of Israel, followed the Levites to Jerusalem to offer sacrifices to the LORD, the God of their ancestors. They strengthened the kingdom of Judah and supported Rehoboam son of Solomon three years, following the ways of David and Solomon during this time" 2 Chronicles 11:14-17.
