The people of Israel said ‘To your tents, O Israel! Look now to your house, David' because

A.

David has conspired and slain Saul

B.

David had instigated to the death of Abner

C.

Rehoboam wanted to transfer the capital from Jerusalem to Shechem

D.

Rohoboam had turned down the people’s plea for easing their burden

E.

Jeroboam had returned from the exile

Correct answer is D

 The people asked Rehobo'am to lighten the heavy yoke his father had placed on them, but he ignored the advice of the older men and listened to the young men instead. When he harshly answered the people, they rebelled against him by saying: 1 Kings 12:1-16 (RSV):

“What portion have we in David?
    We have no inheritance in the son of Jesse.
To your tents, O Israel!
    Look now to your own house, David.”
