Barnes' Notes
One tribe - i. e., (marginal reference) the tribe of Judah. Benjamin was looked upon as absorbed in Judah, so as not to be really a tribe in the same sense as the others. Still, in memory of the fact that the existing tribe of Judah was a double one I Kings 12:2 l, the prophet Ahijah tore his garment into twelve parts, and kept back two from Jeroboam I Kings 11:30-31.
