The correct answer is B.

Explanation:

The question is asking which event in Israel was marked by the declaration "What portion have we in David? we have no inheritance in the son of Jesse. To your tents, O Israel!" The options are monarchy, united kingdom, confederacy, and divided kingdom.

The correct option is B, which is the united kingdom in Israel. This declaration was made by Sheba, son of Bichri, who attempted to lead a rebellion against King David towards the end of his reign. Sheba was from the tribe of Benjamin and did not want to be ruled by David, who was from the tribe of Judah. He thus called on Israel to rebel against David's rule.

The phrase "What portion have we in David? we have no inheritance in the son of Jesse. To your tents, O Israel!" was a call for the people of Israel to return to their homes and not support David. It marked the end of the united kingdom because it was a clear indication of the division and disunity that had been created between the tribes of Israel.

It is important to note that this event did not immediately lead to the end of David's reign or the united kingdom. However, it was a significant moment that highlighted the growing tensions and divisions among the tribes of Israel.

In summary, the correct option for this question is B, which is the united kingdom in Israel. The declaration "What portion have we in David? we have no inheritance in the son of Jesse. To your tents, O Israel!" marked the end of the united kingdom in Israel because it showed the division and disunity among the tribes of Israel.
