The Bible mentions only one son, Rehoboam, in whose time the nation of Israel split into the northern kingdom, which later came to be known as Samaria, and the southern kingdom, known as Judah.

Some sources refer to a son by the Queen of Sheba; this isn't confirmed in the Bible.

It can be assumed that he had more than one son, since it is highly unlikely that any man with 1,000 declared wives would not have fathered at least a few hundred children. Though the source texts mention only a single name - the name of his heir to the throne, R'chav'am.
