Albert Barnes Commentary 1 Kings 12:19

"So Israel rebelled against the house of David unto this day." — 1 Kings 12:19 (ASV)

To this day - This expression shows that the writer, who lived during the captivity and consequently long after the rebellion of Israel had ended, is embodying in his history the exact words of an ancient document. His source, whatever it was, appears to have also been followed by the writer of Chronicles (see 2 Chronicles 10:19).
